In  this  list  the  prices  of  many  Cameras,  Lenses,  Tripods,  etc.,  are 
given  separately,  for  those  who  desire  to  make  up  an  equipment  differing 
from  those  presented  herein. 

When  the  price  is  given  for  camera,  holder  and  carrying  case,  it  includes 
neither  lens  nor  tripod.  Our  list  has  been  prepared  with  great  care,  and 
we  have  endeavored  to  be  explicit  enough  to  enable  any  one  to  select 
such  articles  as  will  make  a  harmonious  equipment.  The  sizes  given 
are  the  largest  that  each  camera  will  admit  of,  but  smaller  plates  can  be 
used  in  each  by  means  of  our  inside  kits,  for  each  of  which  we  give  the 
outside  dimensions  with  size  of  plate  that  can  be  used  in  same. 

As  our  equipments  are  sold  at  a  less  price  than  the  several  parts 
could  be  bought  for  separately  and  combined,  we  suggest  the  purchase 
of  such  complete,  wherever  possible,  as  a  matter  of  economy.  Where 
lenses  different  from  those  accompanying  the  equipments  are  required, 
the  price  for  making  up  such  special  outfit  can  readily  be  reached,  as 
prices  are  given  for  the  different  parts  that  can  be  supplied  separately. 

When  prices  for  such  parts  are  not  given,  it  designates  that  such 
outfit  is  sold  in  one  way  only,  viz.,  complete. 

As  will  be  seen,  a  complete  outfit  for  making  pictures  measuring  4x5 
inches  can  be  purchased  for  $19.00  as  follows  :

4x5  Printing  Outfit,  described  on  page  95 ,  .         .         .         .  4  75 

This  will  include  everything  necessary  for  making  and  developing 
one  dozen  negatives,  and  making  and  mounting  two  dozen  prints  from 
these  negatives. 

The  cost  of  making  subsequent  pictures  would  be  trifling,  as  the  de- 
veloping and  printing  outfits  include  trays,  graduates,  funnels,  etc.,  that 
will  last  for  years,  and  sufficient  chemicals  for  making  several  dozen 
additional  negatives  and  prints. 

A  corresponding  outfit  for  making  5x8  pictures  would  cost  $22.50,  as 
follows  :

will  be  found  on  pages  85  and  86  of  this  catalogue. 


prices  given  in  this  catalogue  are  liable  to  fluctuation.  When  any 
article  is  reduced,  the  buyer  will  get  the  benefit  without  reference  to  the  printed 
list. 


Read  Carefully  these  Few  Facts. 


Presumably  the  reader  of  the  following  pages  knows  something  of 
the  interesting  art  for  which  the  articles  enumerated  in  this  catalogue 
are  provided.  If  not,  he  can  acquire  a  general  idea  of  it  from  what 
follows,  and  we  shall  be  pleased,  on  receipt  of  fifty  cents,  to  mail  to  any 
address  a  book,  in  which  all  the  details  are  given,  entitled  How  to  Make 
Photographs  ;  A  Manual  for  Amateurs,  by  T.  C.  Roche,  recently  published 
by  our  house.  It  has  been  penned  and  edited  by  eminent  theoretical  and 
practical  photographers,  and  with  the  purpose  of  stating  in  the  most 
simple  and  concise  language,  everything  necessary  for  any  one  to  know 
who  may  be  disposed  to  engage  in  photography  as  an  amateur.  It  will 
be  found  equally  serviceable  to  those  who  desire  to  practice  the  art  as 
an  aid  in  their  business  or  profession,  and  all  its  statements  may  be  im- 
plicitly relied  on  for  accuracy  and  practicability. 

The  introduction  of  the  gelatino-bromide  dry  plate  has  so  revolution- 
ized photography  that  but  little  preliminary  knowledge  of  it  is  now 
essential  ;  in  fact,  it  is  astonishing  what  can  be  accomplished  by  totally 
inexperienced  amateurs  who  may  exercise  a  little  taste  and  judgment. 

It  is  scarcely  to  be  supposed  that  success  should  always  attend  one's 
first  efforts,  but  rapid  progress  can  generally  be  made  by  old  or  young, 
lady  or  gentleman,  who  may  manifest  the  slightest  disposition  to  excel. 

Unlike  the  old  "  wet "  plate,  the  gelatino-bromide  process  has  the  ad- 
vantage of  admitting  a  much  wider  latitude  of  exposure — that  is  to  say, 
the  actual  time  which  the  sensitive  plate  may  now  be  subjected  to  light, 
though  still  important,  is  far  less  so  than  by  the  old  collodion  process, 
and  the  subsequent  operations  are  free  from  the  former  objections  of 
complexity,  uncertainty  and  stains.  The  apparatus  and  chemicals 
required  are  also  few  and  inexpensive,  and  there  is  nothing  which  the 
veriest  tyro  in  chemistry  cannot  readily  master. 

Another  obvious  improvement  is  recognized  in  the  exceeding  lightness 
and  portability  of  the  equipments,  and  their  greater  adaptability  to  the 
requirements  of  the  public. 

Unfortunately  the  increasing  demand  has  led  many  persons  to  engage 
in  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  apparatus  and  materials  that  are  quite 
inadequate  for  the  attainment  of  satisfactory  results.  We  therefore  point 
with  pride  to  the  intrinsic  excellence  of  every  item  in  the  following  list — 
the  outcome  of  more  than  forty-eight  years'  diligent  effort  and  experience 
in  the  preparation  of  photographic  supplies. 


In  selecting  an  outfit  from  those  described  in  the  following  pages 
there  are  two  axioms  it  will  be  well  to  bear  in  mind.  They  are  : 

First. — The  larger  the  camera,  the  greater  the  bulk  and  weight. 

Second. — While  a  small  picture  can  be  made  with  a  large  camera,  a 
large  picture  cannot  be  made  with  a  small  camera. 

Remember,  we  do  not  make  a  single  toy  ;  all  our  cameras  are  practical 
working  instruments  such  as  are  in  constant  use  by  professional  photog- 
raphers. All  are  fitted  with  our  Patent  Double  Dry  Plate  Holders,  which 
are  by  far  the  lightest,  tightest  and  handiest  holders  made,  and  have 
done  as  much  as  any  other  one  thing  toward  giving  popularity  to  our 
equipments.  The  equipments  are  fitted  with  fine  single  achromatic 
lenses,  which  (with  the  exception  of  the  4x5)  are  provided  with  changea- 
ble diaphragms,  so  that  the  time  of  exposure  may  be  varied  to  suit  the 
subject. 

They  are  adapted  for  landscapes  and  out-of-door  groups  and  in  a 
good  light  require  but  a  second's  time  (or  even  less)  to  make  a  picture. 
Amateurs  who  aim  to  excel,  and  with  whom  the  cost  is  a  secondary  con- 
sideration, are  invited  to  examine  the  more  expensive  double  achromatic 
lenses  described  in  the  following  pages. 

Those  made  by  DALLMEYER  especially  can  be  depended  on  as  being 
absolutely  the  best  in  market.  With  these  the  very  finest  results  are  possible. 

In  buying  do  not  forget  that  you  are  not  going  to  make  an  experi- 
ment. Your  success  is  assured  if  you  follow  the  printed  directions. 
Thousands  have  succeeded  before  you  with  only  the  ordinary  amount 
of  brains,  and  some  with  less  than  is  allowed  to  mankind  generally.  So 
when  you  buy,  buy  as  good  an  outfit  as  you  can  afford.  With  a  cheap 
instrument  you  can  do  good  work,  but  with  the  better  grades  you  can 
do  better  work  more  easily.  First  decide  what  size  you  want,  then  get 
the  best  you  can  afford  of  that  size. 

With  these  few  hints  and  explanations  we  take  pleasure  in  opening 
to  your  view  and  for  your  consideration  the  pages  of  this  little  book, 
with  the  further  assurance  that  everything  therein  mentioned  is  guaran- 
teed to  be  exactly  as  described.

The  Patent  Bijou  Camera. 

THIS    LITTLE    CAMERA    is    one    of    the    neatest    of    its    kind 
ever  made.     When  folded,  it  measures  5x5x3^  inches,  and  can 
readily  be  put  in   an   ordinary  hand-grip  or  may  even  be  carried  in  the 
overcoat   pocket.     It   weighs   only    14^    ounces,    and    the   holders   are 
correspondingly  light  and  compact. 

It  has  a  sliding  front,  hinged  ground 
glass,  and  folding  bed,  which  is  provided 
with  a  novel  arrangement  for  fixing  it  in 
position,  enabling  the  operator  to  adjust 
it  in  a  few  seconds.  It  is  made  of  highly 
polished  mahogany,  with  flexible  bellows  ] 
and  brass  mountings,  making  a  remark- 
ably elegant  little  instrument. 

As  the  plate  is  the  same  size  as  those  used  with  magic  lanterns,  slides 
may  be  made  from  them  by  contact  printing  in  an  ordinary  printing 
frame.  By  using  bromide  paper  in  connection  with  a  Cooper  enlarging 
lantern,  the  pictures  may  be  made  as  large  as  desired.  For  tourists,  to 
whom  weight  and  bulk  are  objections,  this  camera  is  of  especial  value.

Anthony's  Patent  Novelette  View  Cameras. 


THESE  CAMERAS  are  made  in  the  best  possible  manner,  and  of 
first  quality  mahogany  highly  polished  ;  the  metal  work  having 
the  draw  file  finish,  the  same  as  is  used  on  the  finest  mathematical 
instruments.  They  have  single  and  double  swing  backs,  cone  bellows 
and  folding  beds  ;  are  very  light,  compact  and  strong.  Their  peculiar 
construction  admits  of  making  the  pictures  either  vertically  or  horizon-

tally  with  equal  ease,  the  change  of  position  being  effected  very  quickly. 

The  rear  part    of    the    camera    is    separated    from    the  bed  by  merely 

pushing  it  from  left  to  right, 
the  keyhole  slots  releasing  the 
heads  of  the  screws. 

The  front  end  of  the  bellows 
being  arranged  so  as  to  revolve 
in  a  light  framework  which  runs 
on  the  two  hollow  upright  brass 
rods,  when  the  rear  of  the  camera 
is  separated  from  the  bed,  the 
entire  bellows  revolves  at  the 
same  time  with  the  rear.  When 
this  is  turned  on  its  side  and  re- 
placed on  the  screws  the  camera 
is  reversed.  The  whole  opera- 
tion of  reversing  a  5  x  8  camera 
Showing  Method  of  Reversing  Camera.  requires  but  two  seconds  by  the 

watch. 
They  arc  made  with  as  long  a  bellows  as  possible,  the  5x8  being 

about  four  inches  longer  than  those  of  the  ordinary  kind.     The  ground 

glass  is  hinged  to  the  camera. 


Several  new  features  have  been  availed  of  in  the  construction  of  this 
camera,  to  wit  :  In  all  sizes  except  4x5  the  bed  may  be  instantly  ren- 
dered rigid,  without  the  use  of  screws,  by  means  of  a  brace  of  patent 
hooks  that  hold  the  two  sections  of  the  bed  with  great  firmness.  In  the 
case  of  the  4x5  size,  the  bed  is  fastened  with  a  sliding  plate. 

The  rabbet  commonly  found  on  the  plate  holder  is  dispensed  with, 
and  instead  it  is  placed  on  the  camera,  thus  saving  the  otherwise  addi- 
tional weight  rendered  necessary  for  twelve  such  rabbets  when  made  on

the  plate  holders  (two  on  each  of  the  six  usually  carried),  and  the  no  in- 
considerable item  of  three-fourths  of  an  inch  in  bulk.  The  plate  holders 
are  made  of  hard  wood,  with  metal  carriers  for  the  plates,  and  fitted  with 
all  the  later  improvements. 

The  Novelette  occupies  less  space  than  any  other  view  camera  of 
the  same  capacity  except  our  Fairy,  and  is  packed  in  our  telescopic 
brass  bound  Canvas  Carrying  Case. 

When  packed,  the  camera  should  always  be  put  in  a  vertical  position.

Front  Focus  Novelette  Camera. 


WITH  the  exception  of  the  regular  Novelette,  Fairy  and  Phantom 
Cameras,  this  is  the  lightest  and  most  compact  reversible  Cam  • 
era  extant.  The  body  of  the  Camera  is  made  of  same  shape  as  the  holder, 
and  is  reversed  more  easily  and  quickly  than  any  other  in  the  market. 
It  occupies  only  one-half  the  space  necessary  for  other  reversible  Cameras 
for  the  same  size  plate,  and  is  only  two-thirds  the  weight. 

It   is    made    with  the  back  rigid  and  the  front  moving  forward  01

back  by  rack  and  pinion  movement  for  focusing,  thus  giving  the  operator 

access  to  the  ground   glass  without  interference   from    the  bed    of  the 

Camera. 

It  is  of  best  quality  mahogany,  highly  polished,  has  double  rack  and 

pinion  the  entire  length  of  the  bed,  and  when  a  lens  of  short  focus  is 

used  the  front  section  of 
the  bed  folds  underneath, 
hooking  to  center  section. 
It  has  rising  front,  single 
or  double  swing  back, 
and  our  patent  adjustable 
ground  gl^ss,  which  is 


always  just  where  it  is  wanted.  The  metal  work  has  the  straight  line 
or  draw  file  finish,  same  as  used  in  the  finest  mathematical  instruments. 
Each  size  admits  the  use  of  lenses  of  longest  and  shortest  focus  for  the 
size  plate  to  which  the  Camera  is  adapted.  There  are  no  loose  pieces 
or  sections,  and  in  this  respect  also  it  differs  from  all  other  reversible 
Cameras  of  other  makes,  being  complete  in  itself. 

It  is  fitted  with  the  Eclipse  double  dry  plate  holder,  which  is 
included  in  price  of  Camera  quoted  below.  Also  one  of  our  telescopic 
brass  bound  Canvas  Carrying  Cases.

The  Anthony  Compact  Camera 

IS  a  recent  improvement  in  folding  cameras,  similar  in  effect  to  the 
noted  English  makes.  This  camera  is  constructed  with  reversible 
back,  which  makes  it  almost  square  when  folded,  and  measures  (5x8 
size)  gi  x  9^  x  3^  inches  The  bed  telescopes  with  rack  and  pinion,  and 
when  closed  for  carrying,  forms  the  outside  of  the  box.  The  bellows  has 
an  extension  (5x8  size)  of  16  inches,  and  the  telescopic  bed  makes  it 


capable  of  use  with  very  short  focus  lenses.  The  tripod  top  is  built  into 
this  camera,  and  is  of  brass,  arranged  in  such  a  manner  that  it  revolves 
freely,  thus  giving  the  advantage  of  changing  the  field  without  moving 
the  tripod  legs.  The  ground  glass  is  attached  with  our  patent  spring 


action,  which  keeps  it  out  of  the  operator's  way  and  prevents  its  becom- 
ing detached  from  the  box,  and  the  entire  instrument,  with  ground  glass 
and  double  holder,  weighs  only  5^  pounds.

IS  a  new  style  of  camera,  constructed  on  the  folding  principle,  the  bed 
being  in  two  solid  sections  which  telescope,  one  into  the  other  and 
fold  closely  to  the  frame,  forming  the  back  of  the  closed  camera.     The 


bed  being  telescopic,  renders  it  suitable  for  work  with  lenses  of  either 
the  longest  or  shortest  focus.     When  folded  it  is,  as  shown  in  cut,  pro- 


vided with  a  carrying  strap,  and  measures  complete  (for  5x8  negative) 
only  9  x  10  x  3^  ;  other  sizes  in  proportion.     These  cameras  are  all  made

with  reversible  backs,  which  render  them  nearly  square  in  shape  and 
very  convenient  for  carrying.  The  ground  glass  is  attached  to  camera 
by  means  of  our  patent  springs,  and  is  therefore  not  liable  to  get  in  the 
way  or  become  detached.  The  bellows  has  a  capacity,  in  the  5x8  size, 
of  extension  to  the  length  of  17  inches,  and  the  whole  camera,  with 
ground  glass  and  double  holder,  weighs  only  4  pounds.

Anthony's    "Normandie "  Reversible   Back   Camera,

The  Fairy  Camera. 

IT  has  long  been  our  desire  to  place  before  the  public  a  camera  that 
would  at  once  embrace  these  most   necessary  requirements — porta- 
bility, compactness,  and  strength,  combined  with  beauty  and  accuracy  of 

working. 

Until  the  introduction  of  the 
camera  herein  described,  the 
nearest  approach  to  this  has 
been  the  Novelette  Camera, 
which  for  a  time  seemed  to  be 
everything  that  could  be  de- 
sired. But  urgent  calls  for 
something  still  better  were 
frequently  made,  and  we  there- 
fore devised  the  Fairy  Camera, 
one  of  the  most  attractive  and 
elegant  pieces  of  apparatus  of 
its  kind  ever  offered.  In  pre- 
senting it,  we  invite  attention  to  the  following  advantages  it  possesses 

over  all  others. 

Strength. — It  is  put  together  as  rigidly  as  wood  and  metal  will  admit 

of,  and  the  result  is  a  camera  of  great  strength. 
Compactness.  —  It      occupies 

less  space  than  any   other  view 

camera  of  the   same    capacity, 

except     the    Phantom    and 

Novelette,    and    the    plate 

holders  are  made  of  hardwood, 

with     metal    carriers     for    the 

plates,   and  fitted  with   all  the 

later  improvements. 

Portability.  —  When     closed 

for    carrying,  it    occupies  very 

little   space    and    is  packed    in 

a    neat    sole     leather    carrying 

case,  which  is  provided  with  a 

shoulder  strap  Without  Stereo  Attachments,  used  Vertically. 

Several  new  features  have  been  availed  of  in  the  construction  of  this 
camera. 

First. — The  bed  may  be  instantly  rendered  rigid,  without  the  use  of 
screws,  by  means  of  a  brace  of  hooks  that  hold  the  two  sections  of  the 
bed  with  great  firmness. 

Second. — The  rabbet  commonly  found  on  the  plate  holder  is  dis- 
pensed with,  and  is  placed  on  the  camera  instead,  thus  saving  the 


Catalogue  for  Amateurs. 


additional  weight  and  the  no  inconsiderable  item  of  bulk,  amounting 
to  nearly  an  inch,  where  the  customary  six  double  holders  are  carried. 

Third.  —  The  camera  is  focused 
with  a  long,  continuous  metallic 
rack,  cog  wheel  and  pinion,  the 
latter  being  firmly  held  in  posi- 
tion by  a  binding  screw. 

The  ground  glass  springs 
backward  in  its  frame,  like  that 
in  the  regular  Novelette  Camera, 
and  is  held  tightly  in  position  by 
metallic  spring  corners.  When 
windy  this  is  a  decided  advantage. 
The  Fairy  Camera  is  made  in 
finely  polished  Circassian  walnut, 
the  metal  work  being  nickel- 
plated,  thus  giving  it  a  most 
Without  Stereo  Attachments.  elegant  appearance. 


At  present  it  may  be  had  in  four  sizes,  as  follows  :

Naturally  those  without  stereoscopic  attachments  are  still  lighter  and 
a  trifle  more  compact  than  those  with,  and  may  be  preferred  by  persons 
who  desire  to  make  single  portraits  or  views  only.  When  six  holders 
are  purchased  at  once  with  the  camera,  the  extra  five  holders  are  put  in 
a  leather  case  with  sling,  gratis.

Anthony's  Long  Bellows  Novelette  Camera, 


For   View,  Portrait  and  Copying    Work. 


THIS  instrument  is  a  most  useful  camera  for  view  and  portrait 
photography  and  enlargements  combined.  It  consists  of  a  regular 
8xio  Novelette  Camera,  made  however  with  an  extra  long  bellows  and 
arranged  with  an  extension  to  the  bed  which  gives  it  a  focal  length  of 
32^  inches.  As  shown  in  the  cut,  the  bellows  is  fitted  with  a  movable 
support,  which  serves  to  hold  it  in  position  and  prevent  sagging  when 
in  use  for  enlargements. 

The  extra  bed  is  held  firmly  in  position  by  means  of  dowels  and  our 
patent  clamp  hooks,  and  may  be  attached  or  detached  almost  instantly. 
This  camera  is  furnished  with  carrying  case,  and  its  entire  weight  is 
only  7  pounds.  Price,  including  one  of  our  new  style  double  Novelette 
holders  and  carrying  case,  $40.00.

Climax  Enlarging,  Reducing  and  Copying

THE  form   of  construction  of  this  new  camera  is  made  apparent  by 
the  illustration   here  shown.      The   experienced  copyist  will  not 
need  any  such  simple  directions  for  use  as  we  append. 


An  important  feature  in  this  camera,  that  is  found  in  no  other,  is,  that 
the  center-board  with  lens,  can  be  used  in  the  end  of  the  camera,  converting 
it  at  once  into  an  extra  long  copying  camera.  This  will  be  found  very 
advantageous  in  enlarging  small  pictures  by  one  operation.

DIRECTIONS    FOR    USE. 

To  copy  a  negative  in  the  natural  size,  place  it  in  the  kit  on  the  front  of  the  camera 
and  button  it  in.  Attached  to  the  center  frame  of  the  camera  is  a  division  upon  which,  on 
the  side  toward  the  camera  front-  a  lens  is  mounted.  Suppose  this  to  be  a  quarter-plate 
portrait  lens,  the  focal  length  of  which  we  will  suppose  to  be  4  inches :  draw  back  the 
center  frame  and  the  lens  twice  the  focal  length  of  the  lens  (8  inches) ;  slide  the  back  frame 
with  ground  glass  the  same  distance  from  the  center  frame.  To  enlarge  with  the  same 
lens  to  eight  times  the  size  of  the  original,  the  center  of  the  lens  must  be  4^  inches  from 
the  negative,  and  the  ground  glass  be  36  inches  from  the  center  of  the  lens.  To  reduce 
in  the  same  proportion,  reverse,  and  have  36  inches  from  the  center  of  the  lens  to  the 
negative,  and  from  the  center  of  lens  to  ground  glass  4*0  inches. 

These  examples  will  furnish  a  key  to  the  following  table  :

It  is  assumed  that  the  photographer  knows  exactly  what  the  focus  of  his  lens  is,  and 
that  he  is  able  to  measure  accurately  from  its  optical  center.  The  use  of  the  table  will  be 
seen  from  the  following  illustration  :  A  photographer  has  a  carte  to  enlarge  to  four  times 
its  size,  and  the  lens  he  intends  employing  is  of  six  inches  equivalent  focus.  He  must, 
therefore,  look  for  4  on  the  upper  horizontal  line,  and  for  6  in  the  first  vertical  column, 
and  carry  his  eye  to  where  these  two  join,  which  will  be  at  30 — 7)^.  The  greater  of  these 
is  the  distance  the  sensitive  plate  must  be  from  the  center  of  the  lens,  and  the  lesser,  the 
distance  of  the  picture  to  be  copied.  To  reduce  a  picture  any  given  number  of  times  the 
same  method  must  be  followed,  but  in  this  case  the  greater  number  will  represent  the 
distance  between  the  lens  and  the  picture  to  be  copied  ;  the  lesser,  that  between  the  lens 
and  the  sensitive  plate.  This  explanation  will  be  sufficient  for  every  case  of  enlargement 
or  reduction.  If  the  focus  of  the  lens  be  12  inches,  as  this  number  is  not  in  the  column 
of  focal  lengths,  look  out  for  6  in  this  column  and  multiply  by  2,  and  so  on  with  any 
other  numbers.

Schmid's  Patent  Detective  Camera. 

(PATENTED  JAN.  2,   1883.) 


The  Leather  Covered  Detective  Camera. 

THIS  CAMERA  is  focused  for  objects  at  various  measured  distances, 
and  the  points  are  marked  upon  the  index  shown  in  the  cut  at 
the  side  of  the  box,  the  pointer  of  the  index  serving  to  act  upon  gear 
work  to  bring  the  camera  in  adjustment  for  any  given  distance. 

After  this  the  ground  glass  may  be  entirely  dispensed  with,  as  it  is 
then  only  necessary  to  estimate  the  distance  of  the  object  to  be  photo- 
graphed and  move  the  focusing  lever  to  the  mark  corresponding  to  that 
distance,  when  the  camera  will  obviously  be  in  focus. 

The  small  lens  in  the  upper  left  hand  corner  serves  to  throw  the 
picture  on  a  piece  of  ground  glass  on  the  top  of  the  camera,  thus  show- 
ing the  position  of  the  image  on  the  plate.  When  the  picture  appears 
in  proper  position  on  this  ground  glass,  it  is  only  necessary  to  touch  the 
button  on  the  right  of  the  camera  and  the  exposure  of  the  plate  is 
instantly  made,  its  development  being  afterward  accomplished  in  the 
ordinary  manner. 

The  slide  is  then  replaced  in  the  plate  holder,  which,  being  reversed, 
the  shutter  reset,  and  the  other  slide  drawn  out,  everything  is  ready  for 
the  next  shot.

THE  above  cut  shows  one  of  our  latest  Detective  Cameras,  which  is 
kept  in  stock  in  one  size  only,  4x5,  larger  sizes  being  made  to 
order.  It  is  so  arranged  that  its  working  parts  are  all  on  the  left  side  of 
the  box,  and  is  so  constructed  that  the  shutter  may  be  set,  released,  and 
its  speed  regulated,  from  the  outside,  without  having  to  open  the  box  at 
all. 

Lenses  of  varying  focal  length  may  be  used  and  the  diaphragms 
changed  without  removing  the  shutter.  A  removable  rear  compartment 
is  also  made  for  use  with  the  camera,  which  is  fitted  to  contain  five 
double  holders  and  which  is  adapted  to  take  the  place  of  the  focusing 
cloth  when  the  plate  holders  and  rear  partitions  have  been  removed,  an 
advantage  not  possessed  by  any  other  style  of  detective  camera.  This 
Camera  may  be  carried  and  operated  in  our  patent  satchel,  thus  giving 
it  the  appearance  of  an  ordinary  hand  bag.

Anthony's  Patent  Satchel  Detective  Camera. 

IN  outward  appearance,  and  to  the  ordinary  observer,  this  latest  modi- 
fication of  the  Detective  Camera  looks  exactly  like  an  alligator 
hand-satchel  that  is  carried  by  a  shoulder-strap  at  the  side  of  the  pedes- 
trian. Upon  closer  observation,  one  sees  that  it  consists  of  an  artfully- 
concealed  detective  camera,  in  which 
all  the  various  movements  to  secure 
a  picture  are  situated  upon  the  under 
side.  For  use,  the  camera  is  held  so 
that  the  base  of  the  satchel  rests 
against  the  body  of  the  operator.  By 
means  of  a  brass  pull  at  the  side  the 
shutter  is  set.  A  plate  in  the  regular 
holder  is  placed  in  position  at  the 
back  of  the  camera,  and  the  slide  is 
drawn  ready  for  exposure.  The  re- 
lease of  a  short  catch,  exposes  the 
front  of  the  shutter  ready  for  action, 
and  by  raising  a  small  leather-covered  lid  the  little  camera  obscura,  called 
the  finder,  on  the  (now)  upper  side  of  the  camera,  shows  the  position 
that  the  object  will  occupy  on  the  plate.  The  slightest  touch  upon  a 
small  brass  button  releases  the  shutter,  and  the  exposure  is  made.  Re- 
placing the  slide  in  the  plate  holder,  reversing  the  holder,  and  setting 
the  shutter  again,  leaves  the  apparatus  in  readiness  for  another  shot, 
when  the  plate  holder  slide  is  withdrawn  as  before. 

By  releasing  a  spring  bolt  on  the  under  side  of  the  case,  the  camera 
proper  can  be  removed  from  its  cover,  and  a  tripod  screw  serves  to  attach 
the  camera  to  a  tripod  for  ordinary  use. 


This  last  form   of  the   detective  camera  allows  the  operator  to  carry 
with  him  twelve  plates  in  the  interior  of  the  apparatus,   and  so  carefully

packed  away  that  no  light  can  strike  them.  It  is  also  furnished  with  an 
ingenious  attachment  by  which  the  speed  of  the  shutter  can  be  regulated 
to  suit  the  speed  of  the  object,  moving  with  greater  or  less  velocity  ;  while, 
by  simply  releasing  a  catch,  time  exposures  can  be  made  at  the  will  of 
the  operator.  In  fact  the  whole  affair  is  an  important  achievement  in 
ingenious,  compact  and  light  photographic  apparatus. 

These  satchel  detective  cameras  have  been  frequently  operated  with 
success  where  the  use  of  others  less  deceptive  has  been  prevented.

The  P.  D.  Q.  Camera 

IS  a  detective  which  accomplishes  the  object  for  which  it  was  made 
and  bears  out  its  name,  the  initials  only  of  which,  we  have  adopted 
as  a  distinguishing  title. 

Photography  Done  Quickly  with  this  camera  is  also  done  well,  and  with 
the  least  possible  effort  or  loss  of  time,  patience  or  temper. 


The  box  is  adapted  to  the  making  of  4  x  5  pictures,  either  time- 
or  instantaneous,  which  may  be  taken  either  vertically  or  horizontally, 
and  is  provided  with  a  finder  which  may  be  used  for  either  position. 
Three  patent  double  holders  are  supplied  with  each  camera,  one  being 
our  regular  Zephyr  double  holder  for  Dry  Plates  and  the  other  two 
being  our  new  patent  double  holders  for  Films,  in  which  the  popular 
Climax  or  other  celluloid  Cut  Films  may  be  used. 

These  double  film  holders  are  the  most  compact  and  durable  that 
have  ever  been  devised,  being  only  three-eighths  of  an  inch  thick. 

This  camera  is  fitted  with  a  fine  combination  instantaneous  achro- 
matic landscape  lens  and  a  shutter  of  an  entirely  new  design,  which 
by  its  peculiar  mechanism  is  always  closed,  except  at  the  moment  of 
exposure,  the  resetting  being  accomplished  by  a  very  simple  but 
ingenious  patented  device,  which  requires  only  the  movement  of  a 
lever  to  the  right  or  left,  as  the  case  may  be. 

The  manipulation  of  the  shutter  is  wholly  from  the  outside  of 
the  box,  and  it  may  be  made  to  work  with  greater  or  less  rapidity 
as  desired.  The  mechanism  of  the  entire  instrument  is  most  simple 
and  effective. 

A  new  and  valuable  feature  is  the  rear  compartment  of  the  camera, 
the  cover  of  which  may  be  removed,  when  there  will  be  found  a 
ground  glass  which  is  also  removable,  and  which  renders  the  camera

perfectly  suitable  for  ordinary  portrait  or  landscape  photqgraphy, 
where  time  exposures  are  required.  A  tripod  screw  and  cap  for 
lens,  which  also  accompany  the  P.  D.  Q.,  complete  its  equipment  for 
such  work,  and  the  entire  camera  is  neatly  covered  in  black  grained 
leather.

Dr.  Krugener's  Patent  Book  Camera. 

A  Magazine  Detective  Camera,  capable  of  making  24  exposures  without 
refilling  the  holders  or  opening  the  camera. 


AS  shown  by  the  cut,  this  camera  has  the  appearance  of  a  neat  i6mo 
volume  bound  in  black  leather,  and  only  upon  the  closest  inspection 
would  it  be  suspected  that  it  was  anything  else. 

The  size  of  the  book  is  2^  x  4^2  x  6^  and  it  may  be  carried  in  the 
hand  or  in  a  neat  and  tasty  leather  case,  slung  over  the  shoulder  like  a 
pair  of  field  glasses.  It  may  be  operated  without  removal  from  the  case  and 
is  so  arranged,  that  no  part  of  the  camera  need  be  opened  till  the  whole  or 
any  portion  of  the  2Jj.  plates  are  exposed. 

The  lens  attached  to  this  camera  is  made  expressly  for  it  by  one  of 
the  best  opticians  in  Europe,  and  is  achromatic  and  will  be  found  to 
give  correct  perspective,  with  great  sharpness. 

The  camera  is  supplied  with  2Jk  plate  holders  for  plates  if6  inches 
square,  which  are  carried  in  a  magazine  and  which  may  be  exposed  in  succes- 
sion and  deposited  in  a  second  magazine  in  the  order  of  their  exposure,  by 
simply  pulling  out  and  pushing  back  a  metal  rod. 

The  shutter,  which  may  be  set  for  either  time  or  instantaneous  exposure, 
is  worked  by  pulling  a  button,  and  the  whole  mechanism  is  simple  and 
effective  in  the  extreme. 

This  little  camera  is  the  most  perfect  and  ingenious  instrument  of 
its  kind  that  has  been  put  upon  the  market.

holder,  and  twelve  or  twenty-four  new  plates  or  films  may  then  be  in- 
serted and  exposed  without  going  into  a  dark  room. 


It  is  adapted  to  4  x  5  size,  either  vertical  or  horizontal,  and  is  so 
arranged  that  the  plates  or  films  stored  in  the  camera  are  exposed  one  at 
a  time,  as  desired,  and  then  by  the  simple  pressure  of  a  spring,  each 
plate,  after  exposure,  is  dropped  into  a  reservoir  at  bottom  of  the  camera, 
where  it  may  remain  until  the  whole  are  exposed  or  be  removed  earlier 
for  development,  as  desired.  The  plates  may  be  changed  and  the 
camera  refilled  in  broad  daylight,  the  process  being  simplicity  itself. 
Accompanying  the  camera  is  a  magazine  which  is  filled  in  the  dark  room, 
and  which  holds,  like  the  camera,  either  12  plates  or  24  films.  When  it 
is  desired  to  refill  the  camera,  this  magazine  is  fitted  on  the  back  of 
camera  in  the  same  way  that  a  ground  glass  is  attached  to  an  ordinary 
box,  and  by  drawing  two  dark  slides,  one  from  the  camera  and  the  other 
from  the  magazine,  the  entire  lot  of  fresh  plates  are  deposited  in  position 
to  be  exposed  in  rotation  ;  the  slide  is  then  returned  to  back  of  camera 
and  the  empty  magazine  detached,  after  which  it  is  secured  at  the  bot- 
tom of  the  camera  and  slide  drawn  therefrom,  when  the  exposed  plates 
will  drop  into  the  magazine.  The  slides  are  now  both  replaced  and  the 
magazine,  full  of  exposed  plates,  detached. 

The  size  of  this  camera  is  only  105  x  7^  x  6^-,  while  the  magazine 
measures  only  6^  x  6  x  2\.  It  is  fitted,  as  above  stated,  to  carry  either 
glass  or  films,  or  both,  the  turning  of  two  metal  catches  adapting  it  to 
the  different  thicknesses  of  either,  and  owing  to  this  difference  in  thick- 
ness 24  films  may  be  carried,  as  against  12  glass  plates. 

This  camera  is  covered  in  black  leather,  with  black  metal  trimmings, 
and  is  unsurpassed  for  neatness  of  appearance.  It  is  provided  with  a 
double  achromatic  lens,  and  has  the  advantage  that  it  may  be  focused 
from  the  outside,  by  movement  of  a  lever  on  the  side  of  the  box,  it  is  pro- 
vided with  a  finder  which  is  adjustable  for  horizontal  or  upright  views, 
and  has  a  shutter,  simple  of  construction  but  thoroughly  practicable, 
which  may  be  used  for  either  time  or  instantaneous  exposures.

Lilliput   Camera. 

I  HIS  is  the  handiest,  lightest  and  most  easily 
handled  detective  camera  ever  put  upon  the 
market.  In  outward  appearance  it  resembles  a  small 
hand  bag,  being  made  of  fine  sole  leather  and  fitted  with 
a  sling  strap  for  convenience  in  carrying.  It  occupies  a 
space  only  4x4x6  inches,  and  notwithstanding  its  small 
bulk,  carries  six  double  holders,  which  may  be  filled  with 
glass  plates  or  films  and  which  are  emptied  and  refilled 
by  the  operator  himself  precisely  as  if  in  a  regular 
camera. 

The  lens  covers  an  angle  of  about  60°,  and  is  adjusted 
to  universal  focus,  being  therefore 
always    in    readiness  for  use.     The 

camera  is  worked  without  taking  from  the  case,  and 

all  mechanism  is  entirely  concealed  from  view.     The 

size    of    picture    obtainable   is     2^    inches    square, 

and    they    may    be    either    time    or    instantaneous 

exposures  at  will  of  the  operator,  the  shutter  having  an  adjustment  for 

either  the  one  or  the  other.     Price,  including  carrying  case  and  strap, 

camera,  lens,  six  double  plate  holders,  twelve  kits  for  same,  nine  dozen 

celluloid  films  and  ruby  lantern,  $25.00. 


The  Concealed  Vest  Camera. 

^•p  HIS  MINUTE  CAMERA  is  made  to  be  suspended 
J_  from  the  neck  of  the  operator  and  worn  under 
both  coat  and  vest  with  the  lens  pro- 
truding through  the  buttonhole  of  the 
vest. 

It  is  made  of  metal,  nickel  plated, 
'and  is  provided  with  circular  plate 
for  six  exposures  without  changing. 

The  camera  is  6  inches  in  diam- 
eter, 24  inch  in  thickness,  and  weighs 
only  y<z  Ib.  The  lens  is  of  universal  focus  and  conceal- 
ment almost  perfect.

Anthony's  Patent  Eclipse  and  Novelette  Double  Dry 
Plate  Holders  or  Shields. 


THESE  are  the  most  compact  plate  holders  in  the  market,  the  rabbet 
commonly  found  on  the  plate  holder  being  dispensed  with  and 
placed  on  the  camera  instead,  thus  saving  the  additional  weight  of  twelve 
such  rabbets  when  made  on    the  plate  holder  (two  on  each  of  the  six 
holders  usually  carried),  and  the  item  of  three-fourths  of  an  inch  in  bulk. 

Their  outside  dimensions,  exclusive  of  slide  caps  as  given  below,  will 
be  found  to  be  smaller  than  any  other  double  dry  plate  holders  made. 

The  construction  of  our  patent  perfect  double  holders  is  such  that 
several  sizes  of  plates  can  be  used  without  the  aid  of  inside  kits,  for  in- 
stance, in  a  5  x  8  holder,  any  plate  measuring  five  inches  one  way  and  not 
over  eight  inches  the  other,  can  be  used,  4x5,  5x7,  etc.  This  is  very 
convenient  where  experiments  regarding  time  are  being  made,  and 
narrow  strips  being  tried,  in  place  of  using  an  entire  plate,  or  different 
sizes  of  plate  with  inside  dry  plate  kits. 

Thin  wooden  frames  can  be  supplied  for  holding  still  smaller  sizes,  if 
desired,  so  that  the  amateur  can  experiment  with  plates  smaller  than  the 
extreme  limit  of  his  holders,  and  at  much  less  expense.  (See  Inside  Dry 
Plate  Kits.)  They  are  also  much  more  readily  managed  in  the  ruby 
light  than  any  other  style.

Anthony's  Patent  Detective  Double  Dry   Plate 
Holders. 


THESE  are  unquestionably  the  lightest  and  most  convenient  holders 
of  their  size  in  the  market.  The  plates  are  placed  in  and 
removed  from  the  holder  at  one  of  the  ends,  which  is  opened  by  pressing 
aside  the  metal  band  that  secures  the  wooden  cover.  (See  right  hand 
cut.)  These  holders  have  hard  rubber  slides,  and  are  provided  with 
an  ingenious  device  for  holding  slides  in  place  and  preventing  their  being 
accidentally  drawn  out  when  the  holder  contains  plates. 

These  holders  are  used  with  our  Detective,  4x5  Novelette,  Bicycle 
and  Bijou  Cameras.  They  are  also  supplied  with  our  Manhattan  No.  i 
and  O.  N.  A.  No.  i  B  equipments.  They  are  made  in  the  following  sizes

Holders 

ARE  constructed  to  be  filled  and  plates  removed  from  the  front,  on 
withdrawal  of  slide  in  dark  room,  and  the  plates  are  held  firmly 
in  position,  when  the  slide  is   drawn  in  the  camera,  by  the  spring  and 
two  grooved  shoulders  at  ends  of  the  holder.     An  ingenious  safety  latch 


is  attached  to  this  holder,  which  renders  it  impossible  to  draw  more  than 
one  slide  at  a  time,  thus  preventing  many  accidents.  These  holders  fit 
all  view  cameras  of  our  manufacture  that  have  our  patent  spring  actua- 
ted ground  glass.  Our  regular  dry  plate  kits  can  be  used  in  this  holder,

Barnett's  Patent  Universal  Film  Carrier. 


THE  Universal  Film  Carrier  will  carry  Films  perfectly  flat ;  fit  any 
holder  now  made  ;  and  by  means  of  a  movable  end,  easily  adjust 
any  unevenness  of  edge,  and  is  perfect  for  the  use  intended. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  FILLING  THE  UNIVERSAL  CARRIER. 

First. — Slide  the  Films  into  grooves  on  side  of  carrier  to  within  a  short  distance  of  end. 

Second. — Place  a  piece  of  paper  over  end  of  plate  into  brass  groove,  when  the  Film  can 
be  readily  pushed  in  place. 

Third. — Extend  the  other  end  of  carrier  by  pulling  out  the  slide.  Use  same  means  as 
in  adjusting  at  other  end,  when  the  slide  can  be  closed.  There  is  no  necessity  of  the 
fingers  touching  the  Film  in  placing  in  carrier.

Dry  Plates. 

AS  the  manufacture  of  dry  plates  has  advanced  and  the  many  plate 
makers  have  come  to  more  uniform  manipulations  in  the  working 
of  the  process,  the  plates  produced  have  gradually  been  improving  in  all

Anthony's  Climax  Negative  Films. 

(Transparent  and  Flexible.) 

F'OR  PORTRAITS,  landscapes  and  drop  shutter  work.     Weight  and 
space   reduced   to  a  minimum.     14  doz.  films  weigh  less  than  i 
doz.  glass  plates.     They  are  developed  in  the  same  manner  as  dry  plates. 
They  reduce  halation  and    can  be  printed  from  either  side  of  film. 

Anthony's  Climax  Negative  Films  are  made  upon  a  substance  of  re- 
cent discovery  which  is  admirably  adapted  to  the  manufacture  of  a 
perfect  negative  film,  combining  transparency,  strength  and  toughness 
of  composition,  which  renders  them  capable  of  being  made  so  thin  as 
almost  to  eliminate  the  question  of  weight  and  bulk  in  carrying.  They 
are  made  with  a  fine  mat  surface  which  reduces  halation,  and  are  per- 
fectly impervious  to  water.  Can  be  sent  by  mail  without  danger  of 
breakage.

Carbutt's  Flexible  Negative  Films. 

For  Portraits,  Landscapes,  Interiors  and  Instantaneous  Views. 

XT  O  extra  processes  are  necessary.  But  Films  are  exposed,  developed, 
JL\I  fixed,  washed,  dried,  and  printed  from,  the  same  as  Dry  Plates  ; 
and  being  but  -^\-§  of  an  inch  in  thickness,  can  be  printed  from  either 
side. 

These  Flexible  Films  are  not  made  on  sheet  gelatine,  or  of  paper 
made  translucent,  but  on  a  transparent  material  perfectly  impervious  to 
water,  unbreakable,  and  with  a  fine  matt  surface  that  renders  them 
especially  desirable  for  Interior  Views  and  Landscapes,  as  halation  is 
thereby  greatly  reduced. 

They  can  be  used  in  regular  plate-holders  for  Studio  or  Landscape 
work,  or  in  the  special  film-holders  now  supplied  by  the  several  manu- 
facturers of  photographic  apparatus.

Vogel's  Eoside  of  Silver  Plates 

ARE  the  most  sensitive  orthochromatic  plates  known,  and  are  superior 
to  all  other  orthochromatic  or  color-sensitive  plates,  from  the  fact 
that  their  sensitiveness  for  yellow  rays,  as  proven  by  spectrum,  is  about 
three  times  as  great  as  that  of  ordinary  cosine  plates  already  in  the  mar- 
ket. Therefore  these  plates  require  no  yellow  screen  in  landscape  work. 
They  give  the  different  scales  of  green  foliage,  the  clouds,  the  distance, 
in  spite  of  fog,  far  better  than  an  ordinary  plate,  and  have  the  same 
sensitiveness  as  the  plain  emulsion  they  are  made  from,  while  other 
ordinary  orthochromatic  plates  are  generally  less  sensitive  than  ordinary 
emulsion  plates.  They  are,  therefore,  suitable  also  for  instantaneous 
work,  and  will  be  found  invaluable  in  portrait  work,  for  yellow  colored 
faces,  colored  costumes,  etc. 

PRICES. 

[While  these  plates  were  formerly  held  at  a  much  higher  price,  their  increased  demand  has  rendered  possible 
their  production  in  large  quantities,  and  they  have  been  reduced  to  same  prices  as  ordinary  dry  plates,  as  follows:]

AS  shown  by  the  cut,  this  tripod  folds  in  three  joints, 
making  it  much  more  convenient  to  carry  than 
the  ordinary  two  jointed  folding  tripod.  It  resembles 
the  Triplex  Tripod  in  length,  but  is  not  telescopic. 
The  legs  may  be  left  permanently  in  the  top  when 
folded,  and  the  other  ends  being  fastened  by  a  strap, 
a  leather  handle  on  one  of  the  legs  forms  a  conve- 
nient method  of  carrying  it.

Anthony's  Patent  Triplex 
Tripod. 

THIS  is  the  finest  finished  in  the  market 
and  perfectly  rigid,  combining  both  the 
folding  and  telescopic,  besides  which  it  occupies 
little  space,  and  for  transportation  can  be 
packed  with  clothing  in  a  large  grip  sack.  It 
is  made  of  cherry  throughout,  and  has  the 
patent  springs  on  under  side  of  top,  by  which 
it  is  impossible  for  the  legs  to  become  un- 
fastened accidentally.  When  the  leg  is  fully 
extended,  it  is  held  automatically  by  a  spring, 
saving  necessity  of  using  thumb  screw  for 
clamping  same.

OUR  aim  has  long  been  to  make  all  apparatus  connected  with  out-

strength  and  durability.  Until  now  the  tripod  has  successfully  resisted 
all  efforts  in  that  direction.  But  at  last  we  can  offer  to  our  customers  a 
tripod  which  is  a  marvel  of  lightness,  compactness  and  rigidity,  and 
which  can  be  readily  carried  in  an  ordinary  hand  bag.  When  folded  it

entirely  with  the  tripod  screw,  and  by  means  of  which  the 
camera  is  instantly  clamped  to  the  tripod.  This  attachment  entirely

is  a  most  essential  part  of  a  complete  photographic  equipment.

Alvan  G.  Clark  Lenses. 

lenses  are  of  such  quality  and  capacity  that  they  mark  an 
A  epoch  in  the  construction  of  photographic  objectives.  They  are 
the  invention  of  Alvan  G.  Clark,  the  celebrated  manufacturer  of  tele- 
scopes, and  are  of  a  construction  dissimilar  from  anything  heretofore 
followed,  and  are  as  striking  in  their  results  as  Mr.  Clark's  success  in  the 
telescope  objectives  has  been. 


(Full  Size,  6)4  x  8J/>,  A.  G.  C.) 

These  lenses  may  be  used  with  equal  facility  in  three  directions  : 

1.  To  all  work  to  which   the  rapid  rectilinear  type  may  be  adapted, 
when  they  give  an  angle  of  about  60  degrees,  and  in  which  capacity  we 
enumerate  them  under  List  No.  i. 

2.  To  all  work  requiring  a  medium   angle  objective,  as  enumerated 
under  List  No.  2. 

3.  When  the)'  may  be  used  as  wide  angle  objectives,  having  an  aper- 
ture of  nearly    100  degrees,  and   as  such  they  may  be  used  with  larger 
stop  than  any  other  specially  constructed  wide  angle  lenses.     They  are 
quite  free  from  marginal  distortion  and  magnified  perspective,  so  com- 
mon to  lenses  of  this  class.     As  wide  angle  lenses  they  are  quoted  under 
List  No.  3.     When   using   these   lenses  in   this  capacity,  care  should  be 
used  in  beveling  the  back  of  the  front  board,  so  as  to  allow  free  passage 
of  the  rays. 

The  lenses  are  uncemented,  each  lens  of  the  combination  being 
mounted  for  itself,  and  are  therefore  free  from  danger  of  gradual  de- 
crease in  speed,  so  common  in  many  lenses,  owing  to  the  chemical 
change  in  the  cement.  The  crown  glass  is  on  the  outside,  and  therefore 
less  liable  to  become  scratched.  The  mountings  are  unusually  compact, 
and  each  mounting  has  engraved  upon  it  Mr.  Clark's  autograph  as  well 
as  our  firm  name.

Catalogue  for  Amateurs, 


While  these  lenses  are  intended  to  be  used  in  all  outdoor  work,  they 
are  also  particularly  suited  to  copying,  enlarging  and  photo-engraving 
work,  and  are  superb  for  portraiture,  particularly  for  groups,  covering  the 
plates  for  which  they  are  rated,  noticeably  better  than  any  others.  Their 
characteristic  qualities  in  almost  every  direction  are  of  so  high  an  order 
that  we  have  no  hesitation  in  claiming  that  they  are  superior  to  anv  lens 
yet  produced.

Anthony's  Single  Combination  Lenses. 


FOR  ordinary  landscape  work  these  lenses  give  very  brilliant  effects, 
fully  covering  the  plates  specified.     They  are  the  best  lenses  in

Long  Focus  Platyscope. 

WE  have  also  some  Platyscopes  of  longer  foci,  for  use  on  distant 
objects,  yachts,  steamers,  etc.,  where  one  desires  them  to  be 
larger  on  the  negative  than  when  lenses  of  shorter  foci  are  used.  This 
makes  possible  the  photographing  of  many  things  which  would  other- 
wise be  impossible,  as  for  instance,  views  which  from  their  distance 
would  be  too  small  to  be  of  use.  This  lens  in  fact  is  exactly  the  reverse 
of  a  very  short  focus  wide  angle  lens,  and  is  as  valuable  in  its  way  for 
special  work  as  is  the  wide  angle  in  its  peculiar  field.

Dallmeyer's  Lenses. 

THE  extraordinary  unanimity  of  opinion  regarding  the  excellence  of 
Mr.  Dallmeyer's  lenses  both  in  Europe  and  America,  is  one  of  the 
most  gratifying  evidences  of  their  great  superiority.  There  is  not  a 
photographer  of  any  note  on  either  side  of  the  Atlantic  who  is  not  the 
possessor  of  one  or  more — some  can  count  them  by  the  dozen — and  the 
difference  in  cost  between  these  and  the  inferior  ones  is  very  slight, 
when  their  great  superiority  is  considered.  None  others  approach  them, 
and  they  have  long  been  justly  held  to  be  the  most  indispensable  of  all 
the  requisites  of  the  art. 

In  the  quality  of  the  glass  used;  in  the  perfection  of  finish  and  adjust- 
ment ;  in  softness,  crispness  and  depth  ;  in  rapidity,  delicacy  and  every 
quality  a  lens  should  possess,  the  Dallmeyer  lenses  are  unrivaled.  With 
or  without  diaphragms,  they  are  better  adapted  to  the  particular  work 
in  hand  than  any  others  ever  made,  and  every  kind  of  photographic  re- 
quirement is  provided  for.  Before  purchasing,  carefully  read  the  infor- 
mation contained  in  the  catalogue,  particularly  that  regarding  the  series 
of  rapid  rectilinear  and  the  wide  angle  rectilinear. 

The  first  requirement  in  making  photographs  of  great  merit,  whether 
for  portraiture,  landscapes,  architectural  views,  or  copying,  is  a  lens  that 
in  skilled  hands  promises  the  very  best  results.  Those  who  excel  uni- 
formly select  Dallmeyer  lenses  and  pronounce  them  indispensable. 

The  PATENT  PORTRAIT  combinations  have  an  adjustment  of  the  back 
lens  by  which  a  diffusion  of  focus  or  depth  of  definition  is  obtained. 
This  is  not  found  in  any  other  make.  They  also  have  a  full  set  of  the 
Waterhouse  diaphragms  in  morocco  cases. 

Mr.  Dallmeyer's  line  of  lenses  is  the  most  complete  of  any  in  market, 
embracing  everything  that  can  be  wanted  for  any  possible  operation. 


T 


Dallmeyer's  Wide-Angle  Rectilinear  Lenses.* 

(Patent.) 

HESE  LENSES  embrace  angles  of  pictures   from  90  to  100  deg., 
and  enable  photographers  to  take  views   of  buildings,  interiors, 
etc.,    in    confined    situations,    where    lenses    of 
longer  focus  cannot  be  used,  and  where  abso- 
lute rectitude  of  lines  is  imperative. 

The  wide-angle  rectilinear  lens  has  the  fol- 
lowing advantages  over  existing  non-distorting 
double  combination  lenses  :  It  is  entirely  free 
from  a  central  spot.  It  can  be  used  with  a 
larger  stop,  /'.  c.,  it  is  quicker  in  action.  It 

*  This  lens  is  also  well  adapted  for  stereoscopic  views.

produces  a  more  brilliant  picture.  The  lenses  of  which  it  is  composed  are 
smaller  and  thinner,  for  a  given  sized  plate,  than  those  of  other  lenses 
intended  for  the  same  size  of  picture. 

The  lenses  are  mounted  in  rigid  settings  or  tubes,  and  each  is  fur- 
nished with  a  rotating  diaphragm  plate.  In  the  column  below,  the 
largest  size  of  plate  covered  by  each  lens  is  recorded  ;  and  if  microscopic 
definition  up  to  the  corners  be  required  the  smallest  or  smallest  but  one 
stop  should  be  used.

Dallmeyer's  Rapid  Rectilinear  Lenses. 

(Patent.) 

THE  RAPID  RECTILINEAR  LENS  is  emphatically  "The  Lens" 
for  all  kinds  of  outdoor  photography.  It  works  at  an  intensity  of 
£,  and,  although  not  so  rapid  as  the  D  Lens,  requiring  nearly  double  the 
exposure,  is  superior  to  it  for  views  because  of  its 
having  only  four,  instead  of  six,  reflecting  sur- 
faces. It  is  composed  of  two  exactly  symmet- 
rical cemented  combinations,  and  unlike  most 
existing  double  combination  cemented  lenses, 
requiring  small  stops  to  cure  the  inherent  exces- 
sive spherical  aberration,  the  Rapid  Rectilinear 
is  aplanatic,  /.  <?.,  it  works  with  the  full  opening. 
Hence  its  superiority  for  all  kinds  of  quick  out- 
door pictures,  groups,  instantaneous  effects, 
landscapes,  architectural  subjects,  or  for  dimly- 
lighted  interiors.  For  copying  and  enlarging 
this  lens  is  unrivalled.  With  smaller  stops  each 
lens  covers  the  next  larger,  or  even  two  sizes  larger  plates  than  those 
recorded,  thus  embracing  angles  of  pictures  from  sixty  to  eighty  degrees 
and  this  without  any  trace  of  flare  or  central  spot.  Many  fine  large 
portrait  studies  have  been  taken  with  this  lens,  and  it  is  to  be  found  in 
the  possession  of  almost  every  photographer  of  eminence  wherever  the 
art  is  practiced.  Either  combination  can  be  used  singly  as  an  ordinary 
landscape  lens  ;  focus,  about  twice  that  of  the  compound  lens. 


53 


Catalogue  for  Amateurs. 

Each  lens  is  supplied  with  a  set  of  Waterhouse  diaphragms.  If  re- 
quired, any  of  the  lenses  marked  below  can  be  used,  with  smaller  stops, 
for  the  next  size  larger  view. 

N.  B. — It  is  recommended  that  all  rapid  rectilinear  lenses  above  the 
10x12  size  should  always  be  focused  with  a  medium  stop  (No.  3), 
whether  the  picture  is  to  be  afterwards  taken  with  a  larger  or  smaller 
stop.  Each  lens  is  constructed  to  give  the  greatest  possible  "  depth  of 
focus  "  which  involves  the  above  conditions.

Dallmeyer's  Rapid  Landscape  Lens.     (Long  Focus.) 

THIS  is  a  single  combination  landscape  lens  specially  constructed 
for  obtaining  large  images  in  distant  views,  mountain  scenery, 
balloon  photography,  etc.  Each  lens  is  supplied  with  a  set  of  Water- 
house  diaphragms,  the  apertures  of  the  stops  of  these  lenses  being  too 
large  to  admit  of  their  arrangement  in  the  form  of  a  rotating  diaphragm 
as  supplied  with  the  "wide  angle"  landscape  series.  It  has  a  working 
intensity  somewhat  more  than  -fa  (or  about  twice  as  quick  as  the  wide 
angle  landscape  lens),  and  in  this  condition  is  entirely  free  from  out- 
standing spherical  aberration,  /.  e.f  gives  a  perfectly  denned  image.

Dallmeyer's  New  Wide  Angle  Landscape  Lens. 

THIS  is  a  single  combination  landscape  lens,  working  at  an  intensity 
of  -fa,  and  is  the  best  lens  for  landscapes,  pure  and  simple,  em- 
bracing large  angles.  Being  a  single  combination,  like  the  rapid  land- 
scape, it  has  but  two  reflecting  surfaces  and  therefore  produces  a  more 
brilliant  picture  than  the  wide-angle  multiple  lenses.  It  works  with  a 
proportionally  large  stop,  i.  e.,  it  is  quicker  in  action  and  the  illumina- 
tion is  more  equally  distributed  from  the  center  to  the  margin  of  the 
plate.  Being  composed  of  three  lenses  cemented  together  it  is  superior 
to  the  old  Meniscus,  composed  of  two,  inasmuch  as  it  produces  less  dis- 
tortion, gives  better  marginal  definition  and  is  of  much  smaller  size. 

The  Lenses  are  mounted  in  "Rigid"    Tubes  or  Settings,   with  ''''Rotating"    Stops.

Dallmeyer's  New  Rectilinear  Landscape  Lens. 

THIS  LENS  works  at  an  intensity,  with  the  first  stop,  of  -fa,  and  is 
therefore  somewhat  slower  in  action  than  the  rapid  landscape,  re- 
quiring an  exposure  of  about  %  longer  and,  similarly  to  those  lenses, 
may  be  used  with  a  larger  aperture  than  the  first  stop.  It  is  particularly 
constructed  for  views,  architectural  subjects,  copying,  etc.,  where  it  is 
essential  that  straight  lines  should  be  accurately  portrayed,  and  has  been 
constructed  specially  to  meet  this  long-felt  want  in  the  form  of  a  single 
combination.

Photometer  for  Timing  Exposures. 

THIS    instrument   consists    of  a  black  cloth  covered    tube,    in   one 
end  of  which  is  an  aperture,  into  which  slides  a  graduated  scale, 
through  which  the  light  is  allowed  to  pass  vie   the  tube,  which  is  placed 
on    the   ground   glass   in   the   same   way    that  a  focusing  glass  would 
be  used. 


Corresponding  to  each  graduation  in  the  scale  is  marked  a  number, 
which  gives  the  relative  time  of  exposure  required  for  pictures  of  differ- 
ing intensity  of  lighting. 

It  will  prove  of  great  value  to  those  who  are  constantly  overtiming 
or  undertiming  their  plates.

Anthony's  Climax  Shutter. 


THE  shutter  is  attached  to  the  lens  tube  by  means  of  a  metal  collar, 
that  is  provided  with  a  binding  screw  to  hold  it  firmly  in  place. 
The  shutter  consists  of  a  wooden  casing,  with  facing  of  hard   rubber, 
inside  of  which  is  a  hard  rubber  slide,  having  an  aperture  corresponding 

in  size  to  the  aperture  in  the  cas- 
ing. This  slide  runs  very  easily 
in  the  grooves  in  wooden  casing, 
and  admits  of  a  very  rapid  expos- 
ure when  the  shutter  is  set  at  full 
speed.  The  shutter  is  set  by  turn- 
ing (towards  the  right]  the  milled 
screw  at  the  left  hand  side  of  back. 
The  speed  can  be  regulated  at 
will  by  drawing  out  or  pushing  in 
the  brass  pull,  seen  in  the  cut,  at 
lower  left  hand  side  of  shutter,  a 
binding  screw  at  the  left  serving 
to  hold  this  pull  at  any  desired 
distance,  thus  perfectly  regulating 
the  speed. 

For  time  exposures  the  shutter 
should  be  set  at  slow  speed,  and  the 
little  brass  piece  on  top  of  shutter  at  the  left  hand  side  (see  cut),  so  ad- 
justed as  to  allow  the  long  arm  of  the  trigger  to  reach  down  as  far  as  it 
will  go,  thereby  engaging  with  the  lower  pin  on  the  slide  at  the  moment

when  the  openings  in  slide  and  wooden  casing  coincide.  The  shutter  is 
constructed  so  as  to  remain  open  until  the  pressure  on  the  bulb  is  releasedr 
when  it  will  close  instantly.

Anthony's  Drop  Shutter. 

ONE  of  the  neatest,  simplest  and  most  practicable  drop 
shutters  ever  made.  It  is  adapted  to  either  time  or 
instantaneous  movement  by  simply  turning  a  small  metal 
button,  and  the  working  of  the  shutter  for  either  is  simply 
perfect.  The  tension  being  obtained  by  the  use  of  a  rubber 
band,  it  may  be  set  at  great  speed,  or  may  be  worked  by 
gravity  alone,  if  desired.

The  Nonpareil  Shutter, 

For  Time  or  Instantaneous  Exposure. 


T 


HE  above  cut  represents  the   Nonpareil  Shutter,   possessing  many 

advantages    over   those    previously    shown. 
For  instantaneous  exposure,  leave  the  metal  catch  down,  as  shown  in 


For  time  exposure,  turn  the  catch  upward  to  the  right. 

The  hood  should  be  removed  from  the  lens  when  possible  in  using 
this  shutter,  and  care  should  be  taken  to  have  the  collar  of  shutter  closely 
fitted  to  lens  to  exclude  light. 

In  order  that  it   may  fit  any  Lens  this  shutter   is   provided   with   a

movable  collar,  which,  by  the  use  of  three  turn  screws,  may  be  made  either 
larger  or  smaller,  so  that  if  is  adjustable  to  any  ordinary  lens. 

By  a  very  simple  and  ingenious  device,  this  shutter  is  changed  from 
long  time  exposure  to  the  most  rapid  instantaneous  working,  all  that  is 
needed  to  effect  the  change  being  the  adjustment  of  a  metal  catch. 

It  is  provided  with  Pneumatic  Release  which  works  either  time 
or  instantaneous  movement,  and  for  the  former  is  unlike  most  other 
shutters  in  use,  inasmuch  as  the  bulb  must  be  compressed  for  opening 
the  shutter  and  again  compressed  for  closing  it ;  a  metal  catch  dropping 
and  holding  it  open  until  released  by  the  second  pressure  of  bulb,  whether 
for  long  or  short  time.  The  shutter  responds  instantly  to  the  com- 
pression of  the  bulb,  thus  giving  the  operator  perfect  control  of  his 
exposure. 

It  is  compact,  light  and  simple  in  construction,  easily  worked  and 
of  fine  appearance,  and  each  shutter  is  neatly  packed  in  a  small 
mahogany  case,  which  will  readily  fit  into  the  pocket. 

The  price  of  this  shutter,  with  bulb  and  rubber  tube,  is  $4.50.

The  Triplex  Shutter. 

(IMPROVEMENT  ON  THE  "DUPLEX.") 

THE  Triplex   shutter  gives   facility  of  three  methods  of  exposure  r 
Quick  instantaneous,    time,    slow  instantaneous.      Time  and  slow  in- 
stantaneous are  effected  in  manner  similar  to  >ilent  time,  slow  instantane- 
ous to  Duplex  shutter.     Its  simplicity  of  construction  and  operation,  and 

its  mechanism  being  on  front  in  sight, 
recommend  it.  It  has  met  with  much 
favor  since  its  introduction  in  Sum- 
mer of  1889.  It  is  easily  adapted  for 
use  in  detective  boxes,  to  be  released 
by  either,  or  both,  push  trip  or  pneu- 
matic. It  is  also  made  in  stereoscopic 
form.  The  makers  of  this  shutter 
assert  that  practical  comparison  with 
any  other  will  demonstrate  its  un- 
questioned superiority.  When  no 
particular  size  shutter  is  specified  in 
order,  lenses  as  a  rule  are  adapted 
to  shutter  having  opening  less  than 
the  largest  diapraghm  of  lens.  Thus,  a  6£  x  8^  lens  is  adapted  to  a  No. 
i  shutter.  Rotary  stops  include  five  openings,  largest  corresponding 
with  opening  in  shutter,  four  others  such  as  are  thought  best.  Requests 
for  special  sizes  are,  however,  complied  with  when  possible.  Rotary 
stops,  up  to  size  No.  r,  price,  $1.50  ;  over  that  size,  up  to  No.  2A,  82.00

The  "Hadden"  Shutter. 

(Patented^ 

FOR    INSTANTANEOUS    OR    TIME    EXPOSURES. 

THIS  shutter  is  made  of  metal,  with   hard  rubber  face  and  disks. 
The   latter  are  propelled   by  levers   connecting  them   with   the 
revolving  plate,  this  plate  being  actuated  by  means  of  a  lever  and  cord. 
This  shutter,  though  expensive,  is  one  of  the  most  perfect  ever  made. 


To  Operate  the  Shutter. —  For  instantaneous  work,  push  the  lever, 
A,  to  the  right  (as  shown  in  the  cut).  Revolve  the  nut,  C,  until 
the  aperture  is  full,  when  the  focus  can  be  obtained.  Revolve  it  further 
until  it  catches,  and  pull  out  the  slide,  D,  as  far  as  it  will  go  ;  then  press 
the  bulb  and  the  operation  is  effected.  For  time  exposures,  push  in  the 
slide,  U,  to  slacken  the  speed,  push  the  lever,  A,  to  the  left,  press  the 
bulb  and  release  the  pressure.  The  shutter  will  remain  open  until  the 
bulb  is  again  pressed,  when  it  closes  instantly. 

The  shutter  is  attached  to  the  front  of  the  lens  by  means  of  a 
collar.  They  are  kept  in  stock  of  two  sizes,  aperture  of  i^  and  i|^ 
inches. 

Collars  may  be  fitted  to  any  of  the  regular  makes  of  lenses  in  market.

Diaphragm   Shutter. 

TIME    AND    INSTANTANEOUS,    WITH    SILENT    TIME    ATTACHMENT. 

THE    advantages   of  the   principles    involved     in    the    Diaphragm 
Shutter     are     so     apparent    that    they    have    from     the    outset 
been  fully  appreciated.     It  requires  little  argument  to  show  that  the 
proper  place  for  opening  and  closing  a  Shutter  is  in  the  optical  axis  of 

the  Lens,  and  in  both  time  and 
instantaneous  photography,  it  is 
evident  that  this  Shutter,  starting 
its  opening  with  a  pin  hole  and 
gradually  increasing  to  the  size  of 
stop  for  which  it  is  set,  and  returning 
in  the  same  manner,  will  give  the 
effect  of  a  small  stop,  /.  e.,  more 
depth  and  flatness. 

The  makers  have  taken  advantage 
of  all  the  improvements,  and  offer 
the  Model  '90  with  the  confidence 
that  it  meets  every  condition.  While 
the  Shutter  is  in  itself  a  nice  piece 
of  mechanism,  the  workmanship  and 
finish  are  of  the  highest  order. 

The  advantages  of  this  Shutter 
over  others  are  as  follows  : 

There  are  no  loose  stops.  The 
variation  in  size  of  stop  is  made  by 
turning  the  black  disk,  which  is 
supplied  with  a  large  index.  Ab- 
solute control  of  time  exposure. 
Large  index  giving  correct  indica- 
tion of  time,  in  seconds  and  fractions 
thereof.  Entire  independence  of 
speed  regulation  from  the  influence 
of  temperature  or  humidity.  By 
turning  a  lever  it  is  set  for  either 
time  or  instantaneous  exposure,  and  remains  so  until  changed.  The 
movement  during  exposure  is  almost  absolutely  free  from  concussion. 
The  blades  are  changed  from  steel  to  hard  rubber,  so  that  there  is  no 
danger  from  rust.  All  parts  which  must  be  manipulated  are  placed  at 
the  front,  easy  of  access.  We  guarantee  that  the  Shutters  and  barrels 
are  absolutely  true  and  optically  centered,  whether  arranged  for  our 
Lenses  or  others. 

While  we  have  sample  barrels  of  almost  all  known  Lenses,  we  find 
that  there  is  a  variation  in  the  thread  of  almost  all  makes.  We  will 
therefore  assume  no  responsibility  in  fitting  the  same,  and  recommend 
that  the  Lenses  or  Lens  tubes  be  sent  to  us  to  be  fitted.

to  the  camera  and  front,  the  use  of  which  is  obvious,  your  attention  is 
called  to  the  apparatus  for  illumination,  which  is  by  all  odds  the  most 
important  feature  of  any  enlarging  lantern. 

The  lamp,  which  is  intended  for  use  with  kerosene,  is  provided  with 
a  double-wick  burner,  both  flames  emerging  through  a  single  aperture 
in  the  dome.  This  feature  increases  the  volume  of  light  two-fold  ;  the 
burner  is  provided  with  a  close-fitting  chimney-base  fitted  with  an  aper- 
ture covered  with  non-actinic  glass,  intended  both  for  dark  room  illu- 
mination and  also  for  observing  the  height  of  the  flames.  A  conical 
light  conductor  connects  the  lamp  with  the  condensing  lenses,  and  is 
made  to  telescope  so  as  to  adjust  the  light  accurately  to  the  focus  of  the 
condensers  ;  this  light  conductor  has  an  aperture  at  the  side  covered 
with  a  movable  metallic  disk,  and  is  intended  to  admit  of  the  operator 
finding  the  centering  point  of  his  flame  on  the  condensers  ;  this  he  will 
see  at  a  glance  by  the  reflector.  The  lamp  is  not  rigid,  but  can  be  re- 
volved so  as  to  bring  the  flame  in  any  desired  position.  Some  negatives 
require  a  more  intense  light  than  others,  and  experience  will  show  how 
to  arrange  the  light  for  any  particular  occasion. 

The  form  of  this  lantern  is  such  that  all  heat  passes  upwards  through 
the  chimney,  and  as  there  is  no  boxing  around  the  apparatus  it  is  always 
cool,  and  all  risk  of  breaking  lenses  or  negatives  is  avoided.  The 
change  from  the  use  of  artificial  light  to  daylight  is  better  shown  in  the 
cut  than  described  in  writing.  With  this  lantern  and  a  half-inch  stop  in 
a  half-size  portrait  lens,  life-sized  enlargements  from  cabinet  negatives 
may  be  easily  made  with  Anthony's  Reliable  Bromide  Paper  in  from 
thirty-five  seconds  to  one  minute,  according  to  density  of  negative. 


Cooper  Lantern  as  transformed  into  a  Daylight  Enlarging  Camera, 

The  design  of  this  lantern  is  the  result  of  long  practical  experience 
with  various  methods  of  illumination  for  enlarging,  and  we  can  guarantee 
its  giving  results  as  perfect  as  the  electric  light  at  a  cost  that  makes 
comparison  ridiculous.  This  lantern  is  also  admirably  suited  for  slide 
projection,  and  is  therefore  of  double  value  to  societies  and  colleges.

FOR  DAYLIGHT  ENLARGING. — Remove  the  lamp  and  condensers,  rack 
the  front  inward  as  far  as  it  will  come,  then  raise  the  back  of  the  bellows- 
bearing  frame  from  its  position  to  the  back  of  the  bed-board  on  which 
it  will  be  securely  held  by  the  screw  heads  which  fit  into  the  key-hole 
slots  corresponding.  Remove  the  front  in  the  same  way  and  set  it  back 
on  the  screws  designed  for  it,  which  will  be  found  on  the  movable  bed 
operated  by  the  rack  work.  Attach  the  ground-glass  frame  to  the  back 
and  the  instrument  is  ready  for  use.  A  dark  room  with  an  aperture  in 
the  window  allowing  the  ground  glass  end  to  fit  firmly  so  as  to  exclude 
all  outside  light,  but  allowing  an  unobstructed  view  of  the  sky,  is  the 
most  satisfactory. 

If  you  cannot  get  a  clear  view  of  the  sky  use  a  mirror  at  a  proper 
angle  to  reflect  the  sky  above.  White  card-board  reflectors  may  be  used, 
but  nothing  equals  the  mirror.  A  shelf  should  be  fastened  to  the  win- 
dow to  support  the  weight  of  the  camera. 

USED  AS  A  COPYING  OR  PORTRAIT  CAMERA. — Besides  the  double  use 
for  artificial  or  daylight  work,  this  camera  may  be  fitted  with  an  attach-

Anthony's  Improved  Enlarging  Lantern. 


THE  great  merit  of  this  enlarging  lantern  is  its  simplicity  of  con- 
struction, economy,  and  practical  usefulness. 

It  is  intended  for  making  enlargements  on  gelatino-bromide  rapid 
printing  paper  by  artificial  light,  requiring  only  from  thirty  to  sixty 
seconds'  exposure  for  a  life-size  head. 

Another  purpose  for  which  it  admirably  serves  is  that  of  a  dark-room 
lantern.  It  is  provided  with  non-actinic  glass  panels  in  the  sides  of 
the  lantern.  It  can  also  be  used  as  a  copying  camera  for  making  lan- 
tern transparencies. 

Grooves  in  the  interior  admit  of  changing  the  relative  positions  of 
the  negative  and  condensing  lenses.  It  is  very  compact,  the  size  being 
18  x  15  x  8  inches.

Anthony's  Triplexicon  Magic  Lantern. 


WE  have  seen  many  lanterns  in  our  time,  but  in  several  respects  this 
eclipses  them  all,  and  especially  those  for  use  with  kerosene  oil 
only.  The  lamp  itself  is  completely  shielded  with  a  well  made  hood  of 
Russia  iron,  and  is  provided  with  the  patent  triplex  wick,  which  affords 
the  utmost  illumination  obtainable  with  any  oil  light.  The  back  and 
front  of  the  hood  are  closed  interiorally  by  glass  plates,  specially 
annealed  to  withstand  extreme  heat,  and  the  rear  one  is  again  closed  by 
perforated  sheet  iron,  covered  interiorally  with  a  highly  polished  metallic 
reflector,  back  of  which  is  inserted  an  eye  piece  of  ruby  glass.  The  latter 
enables  one  to  always  observe  the  condition  of  the  flame  and  wicks,  and 
regulate  them  without  disturbing  or  discontinuing  the  action  of  the 
instrument.  The  chimney  is  made  telescopic  to  pack  more  closely. 

The  diffusing  lens,  specially  constructed  for  the  purpose,  is  mounted 
on  a  cylindrical  slide,  to  extend,  if  necessary,  the  focal  distance,  while 
the  condensing  lenses,  which  are  of  four-inch  diameter  and  can  be 
separated  for  cleaning,  are  inserted  in  a  corresponding  slide  within  the 
wooden  case. 

The  case  itself  is  quite  compact,  and  appears  very  ornamental  in  its 
highly  polished  mahogany,  with  its  little  hinged  ventilators  on  either 
side  at  the  bottom.  The  metal  front  is  burnished,  and  has  a  spiral 
spring  adapter  for  the  admission  of  the  slides.  A  substantial  wooden 
box  contains  all,  and  serves  also  as  a  table  for  the  instrument  while  in 


Altogether,  this  is  the  finest  example  of  its  kind  we  have  yet  seen. 
It  will  also  serve  admirably  for  enlargements  with  the  gelatino-bromide 
paper.  It  is  destined  to  become  very  popular.  Price,  $35.00.

Lantern  arranged  for  making  positives  by  contact. 

THE  following  are  some  of  the  advantages  possessed  by  this  Lan- 
tern :  It  saves  your  eyesight.  It  is  simple  and  easy  to  manager 
is  not  complicated,  yet  has  three  separate  and  distinct  forms  of  light, 
It  is  adapted  for  the  use  of  either  oil  or  gas  ;  is  about  nine  inches  square 
by  fourteen  high,  with  eight  by  ten  ruby  glass  in  front.  Each 
lantern  is  provided  with  a  coal-oil  lamp,  with  improved  patent  burner 
and  silvered  reflector,  which  may  be  revolved  in  any  direction  and 
operated  from  the  outside.  By  removing  the  revolving  lamp  bed,  a  hole 
will  be  found  through  which  a  gas  burner  can  be  introduced. 

It  can  be  used  for  seven  or  more  different  operations  in  photography, 
several  of  which  have  never  been  combined  in  any  one  lantern,  to  wit :

flooded  with  white  light  and  as  quickly  changed  to  the  red,  giving  abun- 
dance of  light  by  which  to  develop  the  largest  sized  plates  used.  The 
adjustable  hood  effectually  shields  the  eyes  from  the  glare  of  the  red 
light,  a  matter  of  the  greatest  importance  to  those  having  a  large  number 
of  negatives  to  develop,  or  other  work  to  perform  necessitating  red

Fourth. — An  opal  light  by  which  to  examine  negatives  or  positives 
after  fixing,  enabling  the  operator  to  judge  of  their  quality,  thereby 
avoiding  the  necessity  of  leaving  the  dark  room  in  search  of  white  light. 

Fifth. — A  clear  transparent  light  for  making  positives  on  glass 
(gelatino-bromide).  This  feature  is  a  valuable  one  ;  any  photographer 
can  materially  add  to  his  revenue  by  making  these  most  beautiful

Sixth. — The  making  of  enlarged  negatives  from  gelatine  positives, 
placed  in  front  of  opal  light. 

Seventh. — The  making  of  photo-micrographs  with  the  clear,  trans-

bromide  plate  and  the  microscope. 

Eighth. — By  the  adjustment  of  condensers  and  holder  for  slides  and

Celluloid  Developing  Trays. 

trays  are  of  exceedingly  light  material  and  very  tough  and 
_        strong.     They  may  be  dropped  or  thrown  upon  the  floor  without 

injury,  and  their  rounded  corners 
render  them  very  easy  to  work 
with.  Another  great  advantage 
which  they  possess,  is,  that  they 
are  made  in  three  distinct  colors, 
and  may  thus  be  readily  dis- 
tinguished in  the  dark  room, 
as  follows  :

AS  will  be  seen  by  the  cut,  the   glass  negative  lies  flat  on  the  bottom 
of  the  tray,  necessitating  the  least  possible  quantity  of  developer, 
and  the  depressed  channel  in  bottom  of  tray  is  sufficiently  deep  to  allow 
the  finger  or  plate-lifter  to  engage   firmly   underneath  the  plate  and  re- 
move it  without  risk  of  scratching.     They  are  of  polished  hard  rubber.

(Ready  for  use.) 

THE  excellent  qualities  of  this  article,  and  its  convenience  for  use, 
are    possessed    by    no    other    ready    prepared    developer    in    the 
market. 

For  use,  it  is  simply  poured  into  the  tray,  and  when  development  is 
finished,  may  be  filtered  and  returned  to  the  bottle.  This  can  be  re 
peated  many  times.  It  yields  a  negative  of  fine  printing  color,  and  with 
out  fog.  Full  directions  accompany  each  bottle. 

Dr.  H.  W.  Vogel,  of  Germany,  writes  in  the  highest  terms  of  Hydro- 
kinone  as  a  developer,  praising  particularly  its  advantages  for  negatives 
of  widely  differing  relative  exposures.

Newton's  Giant  Developer. 

For  Gallery  or  Out-door  Work. 

THIS  NEW  DEVELOPER,  introduced  by  Prof.  Henry  J.  Newton, 
is  unlike  any  similar  agent,  inasmuch  as  it  works  from  the  first, 
until  all  used  up,  with  full  vigor  and  does  not  slow  up  after  developing 
a  few  plates  as  most  developers  are  apt  to  do. 

The  "  Giant "  produces  negatives  with  the  greatest  brilliancy,  clear 
shadows  and  a  splendid,  quick  printing  color. 

It  is  admirably  adapted  to  general  work,  yielding  the  most  brilliant 
negatives,  transparencies,  or  bromide  prints.  Perfect  freedom  from 
stain  with  rapidity  of  action,  and  a  very  strong  tendency  to  do  what  is 
most  desired  of  a  developer,  /.  e.,  continue  its  action  until  the  develop- 
ment is  completed,  combine  to  make  it  just  what  is  required  for  the 
photographer,  either  professional  or  amateur.

Anthony's  New  Economical  Developer. 

THIS  DEVELOPER  is  put  up  in  a  highly  concentrated  form,  keeps 
well,  and  will  perform  nearly  twice  the  work  of  any  similar 
developer.  Being  in  one  solution,  its  management  is 
easily  understood  by  the  beginner,  who  is  often  "  all  at 
sea "  with  developers  put  up  in  separate  solutions.  It 
stands  unrivaled  as  a  dry-plate  developer,  and  is  ex- 
tremely quick  in  action.  It  can  be  used  with  any  brand 
of  plates,  giving  beautifully  soft  negatives.  To  those 
who  are  desirous  of  avoiding  the  trouble  of  preparing 
their  own  developers  it  will  commend  itself  on  the  very 
first  trial  ;  and  that  it  will  figure  as  a  valuable  item  in 
the  travelers'  photographic  outfit,  goes  without  saying. 
All  who  have  used  this  developer  thus  far  express  them- 
selves as  delighted  with  it.  With  this  solution  under- 
exposed plates  will  bear  prolonged  and  forced  develop- 
ment without  showing  the  least  tendency  to  become 
veiled  or  hazed  in  the  shadows,  as  is  so  common  with 
most  developers.

Anthony's  Eikonogen  Developer 

IS  manufactured  from  the  most  powerful  developing  agent  known, 
and  its  results  are  of  a  beautiful  bluish  black  color,  which  renders 
it  easy  to  judge  of  the  quality  of  the  negative.  By  its  use,  the  time 
of  exposure  may  be  made  considerably  less  than  with  any  developer  now 
in  use,  and  the  resultant  negative  will  be  found  to  be  full  of  detail,  with 
the  high  lights  crisp  and  brilliant. 

It  is  prepared  in  solution  ready  for  use,  and  its  keeping  qualities  are 
excellent.  It  may  be  used  several  times  over,  and  for  all  but  very  much 
under  exposed  plates,  old  developer  is  better  than  new.

gives  exceptionally  clear  and  stainless  negatives. 

Acid  Sulphite  may  also  be  used  as  a  preservative  of  pyro,  hydroquin- 
one  or  eikonogen  in  developers,  but  not  in  those  developers  which  contain 
all  the  ingredients  in  one  bottle.  Where  used  in  this  way  it  entirely

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USING. — Dissolve  one  bottle  of  Anthony's  Dry  Gold 
in  7^2  ounces  of  pure  water. 

To  USE. — Dissolve  one  of  the  packages  of  toning  powder  in  7  ounces 
of  lukewarm  water,  and  add  i  ounce  of  the  gold  solution.  As  the 
prints  exhaust  the  solution  add  more  of  the  gold  and  powder. 

This  is  an  article  of  real  merit,  as  those  using  will  testify. 

Patent  Metallic  Protecting  Cases. 

With  Ground  Stopple  Bottle  and  Graduated  Tumbler  for  Chemical  Solutions. 

THESE  CQNTRIVANCES  are  a  great  convenience  to  either  amateur 
or  professional  photographers  who  wish  to  carry  solutions  of 
developer,  etc.,  in  their  travels  without  possibility  of  breakage  or  leakage. 
The  cases  are  drawn  from  solid  metal  and 
made  of  even  thickness  throughout,  being  cor- 
rugated for  the  purpose  of  giving  them 
strength  to  resist  crushing  or  indentation,  as 
they  are  very  light.  This  corrugation  answers 
the  purpose  of  a  male  and  female  screw,  where- 
by the  top  of  the  case  is  screwed  down  until  it 
rests  on  the  glass  stopple  of  the  bottle  and 
thus  keeps  it  tightly  in  its  place  and  prevents 
the  bottle  from  rattling  about  in  the  case. 
The  cut  shows  the  case  as  it  appears  when 
open,  indicating  the  style  and  position  of  the 
graduated  tumbler  which  is  furnished  with  the 
three  last  sizes. 

They  are   nickel   finished  and   are   very  at- 
tractive in  appearance.

Anthony's  Developing  Bottle. 

For  Oxalate  Developer. 

THIS  DEVELOPING  BOTTLE  is  a  great 
convenience  to  the  amateur  or  professional 
photographer.  It  is  provided  with  a  rubber  tube 
by  which  the  developer  is  drawn  from  the  bottom 
of  the  bottle  as  required.  A  thin  layer  of  oil  on 
the  surface  prevents  chemical  action  from  contact 
with  the  air.  It  will  soon  save  its  cost  in  the 
quantity  of  developer  economized.

The  Patent  Fluted  Funnel  and  Filter. 


THESE  are  the  latest  and  best 
glass  funnels  ever  made. 
They  are  very  strong  ;  are  made  in 
molds  ;  have  solid  glass  ribs  on  the 
inside,  running  vertically  as  shown 
in  cut,  thus  forming  passages  through 
which  the  solution  descends  freely 
after  passing  through  the  paper,  and 
accomplishing  the  filtration  in  a  frac- 
tion of  the  time  heretofore  required. 
Another  advantage  of  this  funnel  is 
that  the  outside  of  the  neck  is  fluted 
and  the  lower  end  beveled,  so  as  to 
prevent  choking  up  in  the  neck  of 
the  bottle,  and  overflowing.

Anthony's  Patent  Improved  Reliable  Bromide  Paper 

For  Contact  Printing  and  Enlargements. 
Requires  neither  Toning  nor  Sunlight. 

THIS  PAPER  being  prepared  with  the  same  substance  as  used  on 
the  gelatine  dry  plates,  requires  no  other  chemicals  for  its  de- 
velopment than  the  ferrous  oxalate  developer  employed  in  the  develop- 
ment of  the  negative,  which  is  a  great  convenience  in  traveling.  It  must 
consequently  always  be  used  in  a  room  free  from  actinic  light.  It  yields 
the  strongest  blacks,  with  a  fullness  of  detail  that  is  quite  surprising.  It 
is  made  in  a  quick  emulsion  for  use  with  artificial  light ;  and  also  in  a 
slow,  for  use  with  daylight.  It  can  be  had  either  quick  or  slow,  in  Light 
Smooth  (L.  S.),  Heavy  Smooth  (H.  S.),  or  Heavy  Grained  (H.  G.),  as 
may  be  desired.  Use  it  once  and  you  will  have  no  other.

Dry   Plate   Safety   Box. 

IN  outward  appearance  resembling  an  ordinary  negative  box,  though

cover  lined  with  black  velvet,  so  as  to  guard  the  plates  against  any 
possible  reflections.  Thus  plates  of  any  size  up  to  8  x  10  may  be  removed 
from  the  original  packages,  that  should  always  be  opened  in  the  dark 
room,  and  safely  kept  in  this  box  until  transferred  to  the  plate  holder.

The  Anthony  Self-Changing  Shower  Washing  Box. 

(Patent  applied  for.) 

THE  ANTHONY  SELF-CHANGING  SHOWER  WASHING 
BOX  for  dry  plate  negatives  is  a  nicely  constructed  and  con- 
venient apparatus.  Made  substantially  of 
zinc  inside  and  out,  it  has  interior  grooves 
in  which  either  5x8  or  8xio  negatives 
may  be  placed.  When  the  negatives  are 
introduced,  the  hose  is  attached  to  a  faucet, 
the  lid  is  now  closed  and  locked  if  desired, 
and  the  water  turned  on. 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  water  enters  the 
washer  from  above,  and  that  the  inside  of  the 
lid  is  made  in  the  form  of  a  perforated  fountain, 
which  discharges  a  spray  over  the  plates 
When  the  negatives  are  entirely  submerged, 
the  water  is  all  drawn  off  by  means  of  a  self- 
acting  siphon,  and  the  process  of  showering 
is  repeated. 

With  this  apparatus  the  hypo  can  be  thoroughly  eliminated  from  the 
gelatine  film  in  from  fifteen  minutes  to  half  an  hour.  The  change  of 
water  is  continuous.  Price,  $5.

Moody's   Double  Fountain  Negative  Washer. 

'HIS  is  a  new  and  thoroughly 
practicable  arrangement  for 
washing  negatives,  and  consists  of  an 
outer  box  of  heavy  metal,  provided 
with  a  tube  at  bottom,  for  attachment 
of  rubber  hose,  which  distributes  the 
water  through  perforated  pipes  run- 
ning lengthwise  of  the  box,  the  perfo- 
rations of  which  are  on  the  inside  of 
pipe  and  at  such  an  angle  to  each 
other  as  to  ccuse  the  streams  of  water  to 
cross  each  other  in  an  upward  direction 
in  the  middle  of  the  box,  which  results 
in  a  constant  upward  current  to  the  overflow  pipe,  thus  insuring  a  perfect 
elimination  of  free  chemical  agents  from  the  negatives. 

A  removable  wire  rack,  as  shown  in  'the  cut,  serves  to  hold  fifteen 
negatives  in  an  upright  position  within  the  box. 

These  Negative  Washers  are  made  in  three  sizes  only,  but  may  be  used 
for  any  size  of  plate  smaller  than  the  one  named,  without  adjustment.

Anthony's  Adjustable  Developing  Fork. 


AS  seen  by  the  cut,  this  is  for  holding  the  dry  plate  during  develop-

its  aid  the  plate  is  easily  examined  and  returned  to  solution,  saving 
necessity  of  ridges  and  elevations  on  bottom  of  tray  to  prevent  capillary

Hard  Rubber  Set  and  Bound  Photographers'  Brushes. 


THESE   BRUSHES,    though    somewhat  more    expensive    than   the 
ordinary   make,   are   well    worth    the  difference    in    price,    being 
absolutely  the  best  thing  of  the  kind  ever  made.     The  bristles  are  secured 


Catalogue  for  Amateurs. 

by  first  immersing  the  butts  (or  stiff  ends)  of  the  bristles  in  soft  rubber  ; 
they  are  then  put  upon  the  end  of  the  handle  (not  around  it  as  in  the 
old  way);  a  belt  of  rubber  combined  with  metal  is  wound  around  the 
whole,  covering  the  butt  of  the  bristles,  and  conforming  to  a  groove 
running  around  the  adjoining  end  of  the  handle.  The  portion  of  the 
brush  covered  with  rubber  and  metal  is  then  placed  in  a  die  and  vul- 
canized (or  hardened)  under  heat  and  pressure.  The  result  is  a  solid 
vulcanized  head,  in  which  the  bristles  are  so  thoroughly  imbedded  that 
it  is  impossible  for  them  to  get  loose.  The  handle  being  dovetailed  into 
the  head  (see  sectional  illustration),  is  also  firmly  secured. 

It  is  self-evident  that  this  method  of  constructing  brushes  is  far 
superior  to  the  old  modes.  These  brushes  are  not  affected  in  any  man- 
ner by  any  solution  in  which  they  may  be  used,  and  they  can  be  kept 
for  any  length  of  time  in  either  damp  or  dry  atmosphere  without  injury.

The  Climax  Removable  Leaf  Album. 


THIS  album  is  unequaled  for  convenience,  strength,  durability  and 
gentility  of  appearance.  Its  greitest  advantage  lies  in  the  fact 
that  its  leaves  are  entirely  independent  of  the  book  itself  and  of  each 
other,  and  one  or  all  may  be  removed  from  the  covers,  and  the  whole  or 
a  part  replaced  or  new  leaves  substituted  with  perfect  ease.  The  covers 
and  heavy  fly  leaves  front  and  back,  constitute  the  binding,  the  latter 
being  very  strongly  made  with  linen  guards,  which  are  provided  with 
four  holes  and  lacings  ;  the  cards  are  provided  with  a  jointed  linen  guard 
which  is  punctured  to  match  lace  holes  in  fly  leaves,  and  the  whole 
operation  of  lacing  one  or  more  leaves  in  this  way  is  simplicity  itself. 

By  using  this  album,  prints  may  be  remounted  on  either  or  both  sides 
of  card,  and  may  also  be  burnished  without  injury  to  the  album,  which 
is  alone  a  most  important  feature. 

The  guards  being  made  with  a  patent  double  flexible  joint,  admit  of 
the  album  being  opened  in  a  perfectly  flat  position  without  difficulty, 
and  the  ease  of  binding  makes  possible  a  classification  and  rearrange- 
ment of  subjects  from  time  to  time.

Trimming  and   Cutting  Machine   for   Photographers' 

Use. 

HAS  been  devised  for  the  use 
of  photographers,  in  trim- 
ming prints,  cutting  paper  cards, 
and  in  many  other  uses  of  a  simi- 
lar nature. 

The  prime  features  of  its 
advantages  are :  An  adjustable 
knife  carriage  having  an  easy  and 
accurate  action,  with  shearing  cut. 
A  table  rest  for  material  being  cut. 
An  accurate  scale  for  obtaining 
uniformity  in  size.  An  absolute  ^ 
right-angle  gauge  for  squaring 
prints,  etc.  A  mechanical  con- 
struction making  it  impossible  for  knife  to  run  off,  slip  or  tear  prints,  etc. 

The  old  method  of  trimming  prints  by  means  of  a  "former"  glassr 
and  tintypes  by  use  of  shears,  is  far  from  satisfactory,  as  most  photo- 
graphers will  testify,  being  slow  and  frequently  resulting  in  utter 
destruction  of  the  material.  All  these  annoyances  and  difficulties  are 
obviated  by  using  this  cutter.  In  architectural  work  the  straight  line 
side  is  cut  first,  which  is  then  placed  against  the  gauge,  and  print 
squared  as  desired.  The  machine  is  set  complete  upon  a  solid  base, 
from  which  it  can  be  detached  and  fastened  to  table  as  desired.  All  who 
have  examined  it  and  tested  it  speak  very  highly  in  its  praise,  owing  to 
its  general  usefulness  and  cheapness.

Entrekin's   Eureka   Burnisher. 

THE  superiority  of  the  Eureka  Burnisher  consists  in  its  cheapness, 
simplicity  and  effectiveness,  and  the  impossibility  of  the  machine 
getting  out  of  order. 

The  Burnisher 
can  be  heated  with 
any  kind  of  lamp 
— alcohol,  coal  oil, 
or  gas.  During  the 
process  of  heating, 
the  roll  can  be 
turned  back  from 
the  burnishing 
tool,  thereby  pre- 
venting the  con- 
densation of  moist- 
ure on  the  roll  or 
tool. 

To  dress  the  burnishing  tool,  the  roll  is  simply  turned  back  from  the 
tool  in  an  instant.  No  hot  plates  to  handle,  and  consequently  no  burnt 
fingers. 

The  machine  has  also  the  patent  removable  burnishing  tool,  which 
is  a  decided  advantage.

Pine's  Magnesium  Flash  Lamp. 

For  Use  with  Magnesium  Powder  Only. 


A  LAMP  for  burning  Pure  Magnesium,  which    combines  simplicity, 
practicability,  cleanliness  of  working  and  perfect  combustion  of 
powder  at  small  expense. 

The  inventor,  Mr.  E.  M.  Pine,  is  one  of  the  most  successful  of  amateur 


Catalogue  for  Amateurs. 

photographers  ;  his  Flash  Light  Photographs  having  been  awarded  first 
prize  at  the  Pittsburgh  Exhibition  in  1888. 

Recognizing  the  danger  attending  the  use  of  the  various  Explosive 
Compounds  heretofore  used  for  illuminating,  Mr.  Pine  has  succeeded, 
after  much  experimenting,  in  inventing  a  Lamp  for  burning  Pure  Mag- 
nesium, and  takes  pride  in  offering  one  which,  for  brilliancy,  rapidity 
and  simplicity,  has  been  pronounced  by  professional  photographers,  who 
have  tested  it,  to  be  the  most  complete  Flash  Lamp  in  the  market.  Its 
peculiar  construction  insures  perfect  combustion,  and  as  magnesium  is 
non-explosive,  absolute  safety  is  assured. 

The  Lamp  is  so  portable  that  it  can  be  easily  carried  in  the  pocket ; 
weight  about  4  ounces.  Directions  for  use  accompany  each  Lamp. 

Price  of  Lamp  as  per  cut,  complete,  with  one  dozen  capsules  packed 
in  pasteboard  box,  with  directions,  $2.50.  Extra  loaded  capsules  per 
dozen,  60  cents. 


Mize  Flash  Lamp. 

(Patented  Oct.  22,  1889.) 

THE  LAMP  here  offered  embodies 
the  latest  improvements  of  the 
original  inventor  of  this  system  of  mag- 
nesium lighting.     It  consists  of  three 
essential   parts,   namely :    a    large    flat 
alcohol  lamp,  a  receptacle  for  magnesium  holding  about 
sixty  grains,  and  a  large  hand  pressure  bulb,  all  com- 
pactly joined  together,  but  separable  for  convenience  in 
carrying.      The  apparatus  when  properly  charged  will 
give,  with  a  single  pressure  on  the  bulb,  an  intense  and 
brilliant  light  sufficient  to  fully  expose  from  fifteen  to 
twenty  feet.     By  repeated  pressures,  large,  interiors  may 
be  photographed  with  wide  angle  lenses. 

The  apparatus  is  held  in  and  operated  by  the  same 
hand,  and  requires  no  other  support,  and  the  light  may 
be  projected  in  any  direction,  and  at  any  angle  of  ele- 
vation. 

Price,  complete,        ..........         $3.0x3 

CAUTION. — The  so-called  "  flash  powders  "  should  never  be  used  in 
this  or  any  other  form  of  lamp,  but  only  pure  magnesium.

The  Reeves  Magnesium  Flash  Lamp. 


T~)  EFERENCE  to  the  cut  shows  its  simplicity  and  easy  method  of 
_Lv  using.  The  rimmed  back,  7  x  9^2  inches  in  size,  holds  horizontally 
two  wicks,  the  pan  below  has  other  wicks  or  pads  of  cotton  wool,  sur- 
rounding the  bowl  of  an  ingeniously  shaped  brass  blow  pipe,  to  which 
is  attached  rubber  tube  and  bulb.  To  use  it,  the  pipe  is  charged 
with  powdered  metallic  magnesium,  a  small  quantity  of  alcohol  poured 
on  the  wicks,  which,  when  lighted,  give  a  very  large  flame  (the  width 
of  the  back  and  several  inches  higher),  pressure  on  the  bulb  fires  the 
magnesium  through  the  blaze,  the  result  being  a  flash  of  tremendous 
size  and  actinic  power.  Then  the  back,  which  is  hinged,  is  shut  down,  at 
once  extinguishing  the  blazing  alcohol.  There  is  no  smoke,  and  there  be- 
ing no  reservoir  for  alcohol,  there  is  absolutely  no  danger  of  explosion. 
The  bowl  of  the  blow-pipe  is  so  designed  that  it  spreads  the  magnesium 
in  a  fan-like  shape  through  all  parts  of  the  flame,  using  only  about  twelve 
grains  of  powder.  Inside  the  hinged  back  are  hooks  to  fasten  the  wicks, 
also  a  false  back  with  curved  bottom  to  convey  the  superfluous  alcohol 
from  upper  wicks  into  lower  pan.  The  back  has  spring  to  set  it  at  any 
angle  ;  there  is  a  guard  or  fender  to  blow-pipe  to  prevent  it  over-heat- 
ing, and  cover  for  same.  The  whole  is  well  and  strongly  made  through- 
out of  Russia  iron,  neatly  mounted  on  metal-covered  board,  packed  in 
box.

CAUTION. — Do  not  use   any  of   the   so-called  flash  powders  in  this  or 
any  other  form  of  lamp,  but  only  pure  magnesium.

Anthony's  Pure  Metallic  Magnesium 

For  use  with  any  of  the  ordinary  Flash  Lamps,  or  in  combination  with 
Anthony's  Flash  Cotton. 

FOR  use  with  Magnesium  Lamps,  according  to  printed  directions 
furnished  with  the  various  kinds  of  lamp. 

This  Magnesium  Powder,  being  entirely  free  from  explosive  com- 
pounds, will  not  ignite  by  application  of  fire  only,  but  is  suitable  only 
for  use  with  a  flash  lamp  or  with  our  flash  cotton  specially  prepared  for 
the  purpose. 

For  use  with  Cotton — Directions  :  Sprinkle  15  grains  or  a  teaspoon 
filled  to  water  level  of  the  powder,  lightly  and  evenly  over  one  or  two 
layers  of  the  flash  cotton  which  has  previously  been  picked  out,  into  a 
flaky  condition,  free  from  lumps  and  bunches  ;  taking  care  that  the 

116 


Catalogue  for  Amateurs, 

bottom  layer  is  sufficiently  thick  to  prevent   the  magnesium  from  filter- 
ing through  it. 

When  ready  to  expose  plate,  ignite  the  cotton  with  match  or  taper, 
keeping  well  away  from  the  flame  which  is  very  hot ;  for  this  reason  it 
should  be  prepared  and  ignited  on  a  metal  plate  or  piece  of  asbestos 
board. 

Remember,  that  with  magnesium  lamps,  pure  metallic  magnesium 
is  the  only  safe  thing  to  use. 

Never  use  compound  flash  powder  of  any  kind  in  a  lamp. 

Price,  .........         50  cents  per  ounce. 


Anthony's  Compound  Magnesium  Powder 

For  Instantaneous  Photography  at  Night,  or  in  Dimly  Lighted 
Interiors. 

THIS  POWDER  is  unexcelled  for  its  actinic  power  and  absolute  safety. 
It  is  entirely  free  from  chlorate  of  potass — it  cannot  explode,  either 
by  friction  or  concussion,  but  can  only  be  ignited  by  actual  contact  with  flame. 
It  is  especially  useful  in  copying  with  orthochromatic  plates,  objects  in 
which  color  values  are  particularly  important.  Oil  paintings  and  rich 
interior  decorations  photographed  by  this  light,  in  conjunction  with 
orthochromatic  plates,  will  give  results  of  extraordinary  fidelity. 

It  is  put  up  in  cans,  each  containing  one  ounce,  which  is  sufficient  for 
two  dozen  ordinary  exposures. 

This  powder  is  only  intended  for  use  without  lamp,  and  must  never  be 
used  with  lamp  of  any  make.

Varnish  for  Gelatine  Dry  Plate  Negatives. 

IN  CONSEQUENCE  of  the  peculiarity  exhibited  by  gelatine  nega- 
tives, it  seems  to  be  desirable  that  any  varnish  used  upon  them 
should  be  as  hard  and  as  insoluble  as  possible.  We  have  consequently 
prepared  and  are  now  ready  to  furnish  a  proper  varnish  at  the  same 
rate  as  our  other  negative  varnishes.  It  is  very  clear,  does  not  impart 
any  color  to  the  negative,  and  will  not  soften  in  the  heat  of  the  sun. 

The  trouble  in  varnishing  gelatine  negatives  arises  from  the  fact  that 
the  gelatine  film  is  very  apt  to  absorb  or  retain  moisture.  It  should 
therefore  be  well  heated,  to  drive  off  all  moisture  before  the  varnish  is 
applied. 

It  should  then  be  allowed  to  cool  off  to  the  temperature  proper  for 
varnishing.  As  the  film  is  liable  to  retain  within  it  the  solvent  of  the 
varnish,  it  should  be  allowed  to  cool  after  the  varnishing,  and  then, 
before  being  used  in  printing,  it  should  be  well  heated  again  to  drive 
off  any  of  the  alcohol  that  may  be  retained  in  the  film.  All  our  negative 
varnishes,  viz.,  the  flint,  the  special,  the  retouching,  and  Mountfort's, 
can  be  used  perfectly  well  with  the  precautions  above  noted,  and  it  is 
better,  even  with  the  new  dry  plate  varnish,  to  proceed  in  the  same 
manner.

FACSIMILE  OF  A  RARE  CATALOG 


After  studying  the  daguerreotype  process  under  Samuel  F.  B.  Morse  in  his 
spare  time,  Edward  Anthony  became  a  professional  photographer  around 
1  842.  He  left  the  practice  of  dagucrreotypy  to  become  a  dealer  in  daguer- 
reotype materials  in  New  York  about  1  847.  Though  initially  an  importer 
of  photographic  materials,  he  soon  came  to  manufacture  his  own  goods, 
eventually  producing  all  the  materials  necessary  for  the  practice  of  the  art. 

In  1852  Edward  entered  into  partnership  with  his  brother  Henry,  the  firm 
name  being  changed  to  E.  &  H.  T.  Anthony  &  Co.  in  1862.  During  the 
Civil  War  the  Anthonys  contributed  to  the  documenting  of  the  conflict  by 
publishing  many  cartes-de-visite  and  stcreograms  of  Mathew  Brady.  The 
name  of  the  firm  remained  unchanged  until  a  1901  merger  with  the  Scoville 
&  Adams  Co.  to  form  the  Anthony  &  Scovill  Co.  which  reorganized  as  the 
Ansco  Co.  in  1907.  Following  a  merger  with  the  Agfa  interests  in  1928 
and  receivership  in  World  War  II,  because  of  its  German  connections,  the 
company  eventually  became  GAP  of  the  present  day. 

This  1891  catalogue  was  issued  during  a  period  of  transition  in  photo- 
graphic equipment.  The  successful  production  of  gelatin  dry  plates  in  the 
early  1  880's  brought  a  tremendous  increase  in  the  popularity  of 
photography  with  amateurs.  The  introduction  by  Anthony  of  the  Schmid 
Patent  Detective  Camera  initiated  the  development  of  the  "hand  camera" 
in  America  and  started  the  "detective  camera"  craze,  which  by  1891  was 
still  going  strong. 

This  catalogue  gives  an  idea  of  the  types  of  equipment  in  use  by  amateurs 
in  1891,  the  still-popular  folding-bed  cameras  and  the  increasingly-popular 
hand  cameras.  In  fact,  the  only  type  of  apparatus  notably  not  present  was 
Eastman's  roll-film  cameras,  which  were  then  sold  directly  by  Eastman. 
The  catalogue  shows  the  lengths  to  which  photographers  went  to  conceal 
cameras  by  placing  them  in  satchels  or  books  or  under  a  vest.  It  serves  as  a 
source  of  identification  of  equipment  and  illustrates  the  variety  of  apparatus 
necessary  for  the  complete  photographic  process.  The  clarity  of  the  line 
illustrations  adds  a  feeling  of  the  times  hardly  obtainable  through  today's 
photographic  illustrations.  This  catalogue  is  a  "must"  for  anyone  interested 
in  the  technology,  art,  or  practice  of  photography  in  the  late  1 9th  century.
